On November 25 and 26, a seminar on “Hunting vs. Conservation” and “Management of species of hunting interest in protected areas”. Both blocks are part of the Master’s Degree in Conservation and Management of Game Resources program that the General University Foundation Castilla-La Mancha has been developing since January 2004 with the collaboration of the Biodiversity Foundation, the Royal Spanish Hunting Federation and the Institute for Research in Game Resources.

The students of the Master’s Degree, as a complement to the theoretical classes, were able to enjoy a visit in an off-road vehicle to the Doñana National Park on November 27. The itinerary included a tour of the 30 km of virgin beaches of Doñana, a walk through the dune fronts and corrals and a visit to the marshes. Throughout the route, the students were able to see deer, fallow deer, an imperial eagle, red kites, a pair of mongooses, geese, flamingos and, most significantly, a lynx footprint, indicative of the presence of this mammal in the area.
