Resumen
[ES] Se pone de manifiesto la riqueza biológica de ciertos grupos animales que tienen poca inversión en su
estudio: los caracoles y babosas terrestres. Se constata como zonas poco estudiadas pueden arrojar datos
importantes como actualización de distribución de especies e información sobre el hábitat donde se hallan.
Aún quedan datos que obtener de la naturaleza, pero falta foco de atención para muchos grupos
taxonómicos que tienen un papel ecosistémico igual de importante que otros más financiados. Asimismo,
la visión de hacer ciencia a veces se muestra de cara al público como algo complejo y aparatoso. Sin
embargo, sin grandes medios, se demuestra cómo se pueden hacer pequeñas contribuciones para un
territorio en el campo de la conservación. La divulgación y el ánimo a la participación ciudadana, desde la
motivación de la curiosidad, toma en valor la biodiversidad de nuestros entornos, logrando con ello el paso
más importante para la preservación del medio.
[EN] This work highlights the biological richness of certain groups of animals that receive little investment in their study: the land snails and slugs. It is evident how understudied areas can provide important data, including updates on species distribution and information about their habitat. There are still data to obtain from nature, but there is a lack of focus on many taxonomic groups that play an equally important role in ecosystems as more funded groups. Furthermore, the perception of doing science is sometimes presented to the public as something complex and cumbersome. However, this work demonstrates, without extensive resources, how small contributions can be made to a territory in the field of conservation. Dissemination and encouragement of citizen participation, driven by curiosity, enhance the value of the biodiversity in our environments, thereby achieving the most crucial step towards environmental preservation.
