How to participate

¿Can I participate?

Everyone can participate in their own way to nature conservation. Keeping a positive attitude, not littering or taking plants from natural areas, volunteering, making a donation, establishing links and contacts, telling your friends about the importance of nature conservation, and being responsible consumers,  are just some of the things you can do to make a contribution.
