- To train the student in technical and legal aspects related to the diversity of animal and plant species and their conservation in the natural environment.
- To train the student in diagnosis and assessment of the territorial components of biodiversity, as well as to understand the need for the implementation of areas and networks of protected areas.
The subject covers the following contents: Biodiversity: definition, origin and current status. Measurement of biodiversity. Geographical distribution of biodiversity: hot spots. Biodiversity conservation: nature and importance. Protected species and areas: legal status and protection figures. Strategies for biodiversity conservation: in situ and ex situ conservation. Reserves and protected areas: protected natural areas in Galicia. These contents will be developed in the following theoretical and interactive schedule.
LECTURE CLASSES
Theme 1. Biodiversity: definition, origin and current status. Measuring biodiversity. Geographical distribution of biodiversity: the hot spots. (BCMN Lecture: 1h)
Theme 2. Biodiversity conservation: nature and importance. Concept of in situ and ex situ conservation. The Cites Convention. The IUCN categories. (BCMN Lecture:1h)
Theme 3. Biodiversity conservation (cont.). Ex-situ conservation of animal species: the role of zoos and captive-breeding centres (BCMN Lecture: 2h)
Theme 4. Conservation at a specific level. Protected animal species and their legal status. (BCMN Lecture: 2h)
Theme 5. Conservation at a specific level. Protected plant species and their legal status. Ex-situ conservation of plants. (BCMN Lecture: 2h)
Item 6. Natural protected areas. Categories and criteria. Regulations. (BCMN Lecture:1h)
Item 7. Threats to biodiversity: alien and invasive species. (BCMN Lecture:1h).
INTERACTIVE CLASSES
Field practice: Field trip with an overall duration of 15 hours (BCMN CA1 and CA2, divided into two sessions, one of 11 hours and the other of 4 hours). The content of the field practice will focus on the identification of the components of Biodiversity and the measures aimed at the conservation of the Natural Environment, which requires a trip outside the city of Lugo. The practices will take place in a protected area or an area of interest for conservation where the components of biodiversity will be analyzed in different media and management scenarios and the data obtained will be compared with the theoretical contents of the subject.
Lectures will be held in the classrooms assigned by the center.

Theoretical classes will be carried out using oral exposure supported by ICTs. A virtual classroom will also be opened to support face-to-face teaching (奇趣腾讯分分彩 Virtual) or another online platform. The documentation corresponding to the classes will be provided and different complementary material will be made available to the student (videos, specific bibliography and other readings of a scientific or informative kind) that will help in the learning process of the subject.
During the field practice, the student will have to make a small report in relation to the contents exposed in the day, emphasizing those aspects directly related to the objectives of the subject.
The students must develop an individual work related to the subject matter, of free choice and previously agreed by teachers. It will be guided in a format of tutorials to establish a fluid communication teacher-student and will be adapted to a scientific study in structure and writing, so that the student becomes familiar with the management of information, literature review and scientific writing. In the same way, the tools provided by the virtual platform of the 奇趣腾讯分分彩 will be used to provide students with the necessary material for the development of this work (articles, laws and regulations updated, support texts, bibliography, etc.)
Throughout the course, the attendance and participation of students in all the programmed teaching activities will be monitored, as well as the work to be done by the students.
In order to pass the subject, the two parts, theory and practice, must be successfully completed and submit an assignment.
For the calculation of the final mark, the following computation will be taken into account:
- Theory: Examination of the contents of the subject (45%): competences GV奇趣腾讯分分彩01; GV奇趣腾讯分分彩02; GV奇趣腾讯分分彩03; GV奇趣腾讯分分彩05; GV奇趣腾讯分分彩09; GV奇趣腾讯分分彩10; CEDV奇趣腾讯分分彩 11; CTV奇趣腾讯分分彩 01; CTV奇趣腾讯分分彩 07

- Teacher assessment of attendance, attitude and participation in classes (10%): competences CEAV奇趣腾讯分分彩 06; CEAV奇趣腾讯分分彩 08
The assessment will be carried out during the teaching timetable and the final exam on the contents of the subject is complementary to the continuous assessment.
Students must submit the report of the field trip and the document corresponding to the work five days before the date set for the tutorial in which the oral defense of the latter will take place.
Exemption from attendance:
In this subject, full dispensation is not granted. Based on the Instruction N潞 1/2017 of the General Secretary's Office, those students who are granted partial dispensation will not have the obligation to attend the lectures, but the obligation to attend all the interactive activities is maintained, as it is necessary to assist to them in their presence. The assessment system for those students with partial dispensation granted based on the aforementioned instruction will be the same as for all students, as the activities for which partial dispensation is granted do not involve face-to-face assessment activities.
Originality of the submitted works:
In reference to plagiarism, the improper use of technologies by students or the fraudulent performance of exercises/tests, the actions of the teachers of the subject will be governed by the Regulations for the evaluation of the academic performance of students and grade review, approved by the Consello de Goberno of June 15, 2011 (DOG July 21, 2011) and modified by the Resolution of April 5, 2017 (DOG, May 8).
It will also be considered plagiarism if the copy is made by another colleague or a paper or report written by another person is delivered, posing as the author of the same. The detection of any of these forms of plagiarism will result in the report/work being considered null and void.
Repeater students
In the case that a student does not pass the subject in any of the two calls of the current academic year, the grade of the different activities will not be kept for subsequent courses, and all of them (practices, reports and work) must be repeated.
