Collaboratively contribute to knowledge building related to responsible pet ownership to conserve wildlife and improve the health of the population. 

Calculate and characterize the predation of native fauna by domestic dogs and cats, with or without owners, in the province of Buenos Aires.  Provide training to citizens on responsible ownership of dogs and cats. 

Workshops are held in schools for students and teachers to reconstruct their knowledge based on problematic situations and theoretical content provided by the teachers in charge. During this training, participants are invited to upload information to the platform ArgentiNat regarding the predation events of native fauna by dogs and cats to get involved in the study of the issue.
