Menu English Spanish +34 928 516 897 Introduction to the environmental program PROTECTION AND RESPECT FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT: PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAM OF THE CONSERVATION OF THE BIODIVERSITY OF RANCHO TEXAS LANZAROTE PARK Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park was born at the end of 2002 and continues to grow with the main purposes that prompted its construction: to create a dynamic leisure center, disseminate the natural environment and support the recovery and rehabilitation of fauna and flora, thus contributing to the conservation and protection environment and biodiversity. Today an ethical justification is necessary for keeping wild animals in captivity. The concept of beasts is obsolete: it makes no sense to expose living beings if this is understood as mere entertainment, but rather it must be sought to generate a counterpart that provides benefits to the animal species that are exposed and their ecosystems of origin. It is estimated that 10% of the world's population visits a zoo in a year. This makes zoos ideal platforms for raising awareness of the public about the predation of man on the environment and, more specifically, for the youngest with educational programs and school visits. The foundation on which a modern zoo rests is education , conservation and making possible theresearch . Therefore, our three lines to follow are: 1. Information on the exposed species: natural habitat and degree of threat: The general design of Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park and its facilities tries to favor the understanding of the environment as a balanced system and the importance of animals as interrelated beings that are part of an ecosystem. From our arrival at the park, we received the visual impression of entering a continuous space that later unravels into different represented ecosystems. The enclosures are designed with the criterion that they resemble their natural environments as closely as possible, meeting the needs of each species in terms of its habitat and environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity and space. Para que todo esto sea efectivo, hay que tener una inquietud por promover el conocimiento y respeto del medio ambiente, lo cual pretendemos a través de actividades dinámicas con contenido didáctico. 2. Formación del público sobre la conservación de la fauna silvestre y la biodiversidad: La principal idea del proyecto educativo de Rancho Texas Park tiene un claro mensaje: la conservación del medio y sus habitantes y la interacción del hombre en él. Sin tener que entrar en actividades estructuradas, al recorrer el complejo pueden ya recibirse los mensajes educativos, pues éstos se generan, en parte a través de las sensaciones que producen los conjuntos animal-recinto pudiéndose, además, observar el comportamiento y escuchar el sonido de algunos de ellos y consultar dudas con los cuidadores que estén en el lugar. El proyecto educativo es lo suficientemente amplio como para alcanzar grupos de diferente edad, formación e intereses. Se plantean dos aspectos diferenciados dentro del ámbito educativo: una educación formal concebida y dirigida al segmento escolar y una educación no formal con contenidos bioeducativos destinados al público en general. 3. Colaboraciones con otras entidades en actividades de educación acerca de la fauna silvestre: Rancho Texas Lanzarote Park está en contínuo contacto con centros escolares, Ayuntamientos locales y asociaciones de Lanzarote para realizar cualquier tipo de proyecto de educación medioambiental, como son: ADISLAN: Lanzarote Disabled Association. Colegio Nuestra Señora de los Volcanes: Specific special education center. EL CRIBO: Lanzarote Mentally Disabled Association. CASA HEDDY: Norwegian Center for the Physically and Neurological Handicapped. We are at the entire disposal of all groups that request other proposals within the field of environmental education.
