Institute for Game and Wildlife Research

Home Outreach

Outreach

La communication and scientific dissemination They constitute the set of initiatives that make culture, thought and scientific knowledge accessible to the general public through the use of appropriate communication strategies and a legible, understandable and meaningful language for non-specialized recipients.

They have one great social importance, since they make it possible to return to society the effort that has been made with public funds, and in the field of environmental conservation and management, they constitute a fundamental step to encourage awareness and sensitization of society towards decision-making in favor of the sustainable use of natural resources.

The communication and dissemination of science are also of great importance for the future of scientific development, since they make it clear that funds allocated to research are always a good investment for the development and well-being of society and contribute to increasing the influence of scientists and research centers, allowing them to achieve more visibility and recognition, opening doors for them funding and potential collaborations.

Taking these premises as a basis, the Institute for Research in Hunting Resources (IREC - CSIC, UCLM, JCCM) actively develops a series of scientific communication and dissemination initiatives whose main objective is bring science and training carried out by IREC scientific staff closer to society and potentially interested professional groups.

Biodiversity at UCLM

Since 2017, the gardens of the headquarters of the Institute for Research in Hunting Resources (IREC - CSIC, UCLM, JCCM), located on the Ciudad Real Campus of the University of Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM), are managed to improve their biodiversity. For this reason, from IREC we make a monitoring of the bird and plant species that surround us in our workplace and we make this information available to society.
