| Methodologies | Description |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Presentation of 16 topics with the main contents of the subject. Each of them will last 50 minutes. Attendance is not compulsory but it is recommended. |
| Seminar | There will be talks/discussions by a guest speaker. There will also be analysis and discussion of a scientific article or audiovisual document related to the subject. There will also be exercises to reinforce the theoretical content of some of the topics presented in the lectures. Attendance is not compulsory but highly recommended. |
| Objective test | This is a test with short-answer questions on basic concepts of the subject and theoretical/practical problems to be solved by the student. |
| Case study | There will be 3 practical sessions in which different problems of conservation and sustainable management of animal resources will be formulated and solved by each student individually or in groups. In addition, a field trip is planned. This could be a visit to one of the old lignite mines in Galicia, where a process of ecological restoration with its advantages and limitations can be seen in situ; or a visit to Terra Chá (Lugo) to discuss how modifications of agricultural uses interfere/affect an endangered population, as is the case of the Little Bustard Tetrax tetrax. Attendance is compulsory. |
| Introductory activities | The first hour of the course will be devoted to explaining the subject matter, how the assessment will be carried out, selecting the topics on which the students will do individual work (when this activity is proposed) and resolving any doubts related to the subject. |
