Most of the network of natural spaces in Spain is located in countryside and, within them, in zones of mountain. These territories have quite inferior levels of socioeconomic development to those of the rest of the national territory. Thus, the Natural set of Parks and Reserves have more unfavorable indices in aspects such as the rate of activity and unemployment, the aging of the population or the rent per capita (C.M.A., 1994). In these conditions, the policy of conservation with the promotion of the social and economic development of the populations of these zones receives special sense binding, being the cinegetic activity an element of great value for this aim. In the present time, hunting raises from point of view rational, in that is to combine so much the protectionistic perspective, whose objective is not to damage the tróficos levels nor to harm the ecosystems, with the generation of economic resources in zones specially worked against. All it without the cinegetic production entails to a state of domesticación of the species and that it can mean a greater pressure on environment or reduce incentive to the cinegetic sport, but that allows to an improvement of the handling and conservation of the fauna like means to obtain better productions, conserving the rusticity and resistance to the diseases. The socioeconomic importance of the cinegetic activity in Spain comes reflected by the following numbers.
