Wilson, Teresa Dell and Adrián Artacho, from Red de Traductoras/es en Acción Introduction pain is known and appreciated worldwide for its natural abundance. Its favourable biogeographical position, variety of climate and orography, extensive coastline and significant Sgroups of islands confer Spain with extraordinary natural conditions. The great diversity of ecosystems, natural areas and wild species native to Spain make it the country with the greatest biodiversity in Europe and a point of reference on the issue of nature conservation. Figures released by the Spanish Ministry of the Environment are revelatory in this regard. The total estimated number of taxons in Spain exceeds 100.000. It is the country with the highest number of endangered vascular plants in the European Community and 26% of its vertebrates are included in the “endangered”, “vulnerable” or “rare” categories, according to classification of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). A clear example of the importance of biodiversity in Spain is the identification of more than 121 types of habitats, which represent more than 65% of habitat types listed in the European Directive 92/34 and more than 50% of habitats considered priority by the Council of Europe.

  • The Trophic Ecology of Wolves and Their Predatory Role in Ungulate Communities of Forest Ecosystems in Europe
    Acta Theriologica 40 (4): 335-386,1095, REVIEW PL ISSN 0001-7051 The trophic ecology of wolves and their predatory role in ungulate communities of forest ecosystems in Europe Henryk OKARMA Okarma H. 1995. The trophic ecology of wolves and their predatory role in ungulate communities of forest ecosystems in Europe. Acta Theriologica 40: 335-386. Predation by wolves Canis lupus Linnaeus, 1758 in ungulate communities in Europe, with special reference to the multi-species system of Białowieża Primeval Forest (Poland/Belarus), was assessed on the basis results of original research and literature. In historical times (post-glacial period), the geographical range of the wolf and most ungulate species in Europe decreased considerably. Community richness of ungulates and potential prey for wolves, decreased over most of the continent from 5-6 species to 2-3 species. The wolf is typically an opportunistic predator with a highly diverse diet; however, cervids are its preferred prey. Red deer Ceruus elaphus are positively selected from ungulate communities in all localities, moose Alces alces are the major prey only where middle-sized species are scarce. Roe deer Capreolus capreolus are locally preyed on intensively, especially where they have high density, co-exist mainly with moose or wild boar Sus scrofa, and red deer is scarce or absent. Wild boar are generally avoided, except in a few locations; and European bison Bison bonasus are not preyed upon by wolves. Wolf predation contributes substantially to the total natural mortality of ungulates in Europe: 42.5% for red deer, 34.5% for moose, 25.7% for roe der, and only 16% for wild boar.

The own experience within the sector has been crucial to understand its dynamics and develop this work. It studies the upward trend of nature tourism in general and the observation of the Iberian wolf in particular, the modus operandi of the activity is described and its main impacts are exposed. Wolf tourism generally provides benefits for the local population in economic, environmental and socio-cultural terms. Its compatibility with the environment and the intrinsic characteristics of the activity closely linked to a sustainable, fresh and offline tourism turns this sector into an interesting tool to mitigate the demographic, economic and social emptying of some areas of Spain. Key words: Iberian wolf, wildlife tourism, environmental education, local development, territorial intelligence, Spain.

Then flip them over and print the Printable with the “Reverse Sides” on the other side. This is important because the players will not be able to see through the squares as they play. Then cut out each square. You may color them if you like, but use colored pencils so that they won’t bleed through. STEP 2 Flip the squares over, picture sides down, and arrange them in a grid. STEP 3 Players flip two squares over, one at a time. If they match, the teacher / parent reads the blurb about that match from the list below. That player may then go again. STEP 4 Once all the matches have been found. Mix the cards up and set them out again. STEP 5 Play just as before, EXCEPT, in the second round, when a player finds a match, they must repeat what they remember from the blurb read during the first round! The blurbs include quite a bit of information——players shouldn’t get discouraged if they can’t remember everything. Just take it a little at a time! © 2020 Lokua, LLC. All rights reserved.
