A Rede de Educación Ambiental “Por un Pirineo Vivo”: o quebraosos e a biodiversidade pirenaica

Abstract

The community initiative Interreg IIIA provided a framework for collaboration and the financial resources necessary in order to start a project of trans-border cooperation based on the protection of a threatened species within the fauna of the Pyrenees, the bearded vulture. The previous trajectory of the social bodies involved in the project has meant working in a scenario which exceeds the mere technocratic concept of protection, and also the objective of protection and the actors: managers, educators and inhabitants. The result has been the coordination between acts of management and acts of participation and communication, and the constitution of three networks of collaboration: the network of environmental monitoring, the network of territories in favour of biodiversity and the network of environmental education “For a Living Pyrenees”.
