Abstract

The goal of this work is to analyze the degree of literacy in teenagers of the Pontevedra province (Galicia-Spain) regarding local biodiversity. We obtained this by studying the influence of the following variables: leisure related to contact with nature, place of residence, family values, gender, and age. Through a cross quota sampling we applied an ad hoc questionnaire and obtained 683 valid cases. To analyze our data, we used non-parametric tests and a descriptive analysis. We confirmed knowledge among teenagers is limited. Those with greater leisure time to spend in nature and those who live in rural zones identified more species. Family does have an influence on this knowledge. In short, this emphasized the importance of education and promoting leisure experiences within nature so as to increase, value and protect knowledge on local biodiversity.
