Comprehensive proposal for biodiversity revaluation on the grounds of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine-National University of La Pampa

Abstract

The Faculty of Veterinary Sciences (FCV-UNLPam) actively participates in university outreach through various initiatives, programs, and projects that comprehensively address human, animal, and environmental health, connecting with the community. This also includes establishing relationships with governmental and non-governmental organizations and actively involving students in solving collective problems that benefit the population. During 2023-2024, the initiative titled "Revaluation of the Ecosystemic Biodiversity of the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences Headquarters - National University of La Pampa, General Pico, La Pampa" was carried out with the aim of generating a social commitment to preserving the flora and fauna species on the FCV-UNLPam main campus. This initiative, based on environmental activities in local educational institutions, aims to raise awareness about local biodiversity. This paper describes the experience of this initiative, emphasizing not only the socio-environmental value of the site but also the multidisciplinary work and support from local and provincial government institutions. This approach, based on a comprehensive approach and environmental education, is intended to generate commitment, responsibility, and social awareness to preserve the species that inhabit or use the area.
