María José Viñals, professor at the Polytechnic University of València and director of the Spanish Centre for Wetlands created by the Biodiversity Foundation from 2009 to 2011, has stated that "social commitment is the best tool for the conservation and protection of wetlands". Viñals has given one of the sessions of the seminars organized by the FACSA Chair in Innovation in the Integral Water Cycle of the Universitat Jaume I, under the title "The social dimension in the protection of wetlands". The seminar focused on the social dimension of wetlands, stressing that the enjoyment of nature is a constitutional right and how a conscious citizenry is fundamental to conserving these ecosystems.
