PRELIMINARY PROPOSAL FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF PLACES OF DIDACTIC INTEREST IN PROTECTED NATURAL AREAS

Abstract

Protected Natural Areas (PNA) have consolidated a remarkable role in the dissemination of knowledge and geographic values over the last decades. From the beginning of the conservationist concern, in the mid-nineteenth century, the declaration of PNA has accomplished, in general, the objectives of establishing the basis to ensure a proper assessment and conservation of geodiversity, biodiversity and the various landscape manifestations. At the same time, an interest in dissemination has been developed little by little, helping to provide citizens a suitable knowledge of these natural values.
