Abstract
The loss of biodiversity is one of the worst faces of the current global environmental crisis. To mitigate the negative effects of this loss, which affects species, ecosystem services and therefore also humans, different conservation strategies are implemented, among them Natural Protected Areas (NPAs). Furthermore, education must be understood as a fundamental tool for biodiversity conservation. The objective of the present investigation is to know how future Primary Education teachers perceive the NPAs as an educational resource. For this purpose, a survey is proposed, directed to the students of the last year of the Primary Education Degree. Among the results, it is observed a marked lack of knowledge about the NPAs, and a perception of these areas as places for environmental awareness activities. The potential for scientific literacy is not fully perceived.
