The students of the high school reveal less environmental sensitivity than university students. As shown in Figure 2 the former present a lower level of environmental awareness than the latter. By the introduction of the Ecology Course in the Economy Faculty the university students have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the environmental items and know the important interrelationships among organisms. This helps them to assume correct behaviour and fosters respect for the environment. The positive responses derived from studying the ecology matter will be more effectiveness as more of the high school students are prepared.
Moreover, the environmental awareness of each student category has been characterised and distinguished in three components: ecotourism involvement, management capacity and environmental sensibility (Figure 3). As expected, the highest level of management capacity and ecotourism involvement is shown by the university students.
