Abstract:

Environmental education is a valuable tool to promote awareness of our reality as inhabitants of a single and unique global community that shares unique and finite ecosystemic natural resources, in this sense, the knowledge and understanding of our relationship between us and nature, It allows identifying and implementing actions to prevent and address problems arising from these relationships. Currently, such education is supported by the creation and use of technological sources and processes.

In addition, to the challenge of designing and operating training initiatives to achieve social awareness in environmental care, today the COVID-19 pandemic situation generates a greater challenge, for which it is necessary to review from different approaches and angles , the alternatives to achieve levels of approach, analysis and reflection in the training processes for environmental care.

Specifically, generating and operating environmental education initiatives in Protected Natural Areas (ANP), acquires special interest at the global level, because these ecosystems are recognized in the United Nations Program (UNDP) as a response tool to climate change to preserve and guarantee the continuity of livelihoods in safeguarding the populations.

In Mexico, the project “Strengthening the effectiveness of management and the resilience of protected natural areas to protect biodiversity threatened by climate change” of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) has been carried out since 2019. This project is developed nationwide in 17 Natural Protected Areas of Mexico, within which is the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir National Park (PNSSPM).

In this context, the San Pedro Mártir National Astronomical Observatory of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (OAN SPM-IAUNMA), the Sierra San Pedro Mártir National Park (PNSSPM) and Terra Peninsular AC, based on the inter-institutional commitment to generate and promote actions that favor environmental education, research and communication, work collaboratively in the operation of the PNSSPM Strategic Plan for the Protection, Conservation, Management and Sustainable Use, with the aim of achieving actions that contribute to and promote social awareness as well as the observance and implementation of initiatives for the protection, conservation and sustainable management of natural heritage in the Sierra de San Pedro Mártir, Baja California, Mexico.

This work describes the proposal and key elements of a Technological Management Model that allows greater efficiency in the management of the support resources of the Strategic Plan in the field of environmental education, which will allow to improve the use of the technological support resources for communication and linking of users, generating opportunities to create value chains associated with financing and attracting resources for the sustainable development of the plan, as well as increasing the scope in terms of impact (coverage) of the environmental education programs of the ANP of the Sierra San Pedro Mártir National Park, Baja California, Mexico.

The proposal considers the diagnostic and design phases, which includes an analysis and comparison of the Technological Management Models, as an element of precision to achieve congruence between the needs of the system and the design specifications of the Model
