This website has been designed and developed in accordance with the guidelines of the WAI (Web Accessibility Initiative, www.w3.org/wai), which establishes international standards for creating web content that is accessible to everyone. The Biodiversity Foundation is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with Royal Decree 1112/2018 of 7 September, on the accessibility of public sector websites and mobile applications.

This accessibility statement applies to the following website: https://www.lifedesman.es

Accessibility guidelines

Various measures have been implemented to make the website more accessible, including:

• Logical ordering of the elements displayed on screen.
• Descriptive text for images.
• Keyboard access to the main options.

a. Compliance status and non-accessible content

This website is partially compliant with Royal Decree 1112/2018 due to the exceptions listed below.

1. Non-compliance with Royal Decree 1112/2018 in the following areas:

• There are consecutive text and image links pointing to the same resource. [Requirement 9.1.1.1 Non-text Content of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• Information, structure and relationships conveyed through the presentation cannot be programmatically determined or are not available as text. [Requirement 9.1.3.1 Info and Relationships of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• When the order in which content is presented affects its meaning, the correct reading sequence cannot be programmatically determined. [Requirement 9.1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• Content restricts its display and functionality to a single screen orientation, such as portrait or landscape, resulting in incorrect content presentation. [Requirement 9.1.3.4 Orientation of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• The visual presentation of text and images of text does not have a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1. [Requirement 9.1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum) of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• In content implemented using markup languages that support the styling of line height, paragraph spacing, letter spacing and word spacing, some content or functionality is lost when these style properties are adjusted without changing any other style properties. [Requirement 9.1.4.12 Text Spacing of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• On some pages, sliders do not provide the ability to pause, stop or hide content. [Requirement 9.2.2.2 Pause, Stop, Hide of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• There is no mechanism for bypassing blocks of content that are repeated across multiple web pages. [Requirement 9.2.4.1 Bypass Blocks of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• Where a web page can be navigated sequentially and the navigation sequence affects its meaning or operation, focusable components do not receive focus in an order that preserves their meaning and operability. [Requirement 9.2.4.3 Focus Order of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• Some links may not have a clearly defined purpose in their text. [Requirement 9.2.4.4 Link Purpose (In Context) of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• Any keyboard-operable user interface does not provide a mode of operation in which the keyboard focus indicator is visible. [Requirement 9.2.4.7 Focus Visible of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• In content implemented using markup languages, elements may not have complete start and end tags; elements may not be nested according to their specifications; elements may contain duplicate attributes; and IDs may not be unique, except where the specifications permit these characteristics. [Requirement 9.4.1.1 Parsing of UNE-EN 301549:2022].
• There are frames without titles, making it impossible for their name and role to be programmatically determined, and preventing changes to these elements from being made available to user agents, including assistive technologies. [Requirement 9.4.1.2 Name, Role, Value of EN 301549:2022].
• Where ICT takes the form of a web page, it must satisfy the five WCAG 2.1 conformance requirements: conformance level, full pages, complete processes, accessibility-supported ways of using technologies, and non-interference. [Requirement 9.6 WCAG Conformance Requirements of UNE-EN 301549:2022].

2. Disproportionate burden: Not applicable.

3. Content outside the scope of applicable legislation: There may be PDF or other office document files published before 20 September 2018 that do not fully meet all accessibility requirements. There may also be third-party content that has not been developed by this Unit or is not under its control, such as office document files relating to public-sector recruitment processes organised by different public bodies that must be published on this website.

b. Preparation of this accessibility statement

This accessibility statement was prepared on 5 October 2026.

The method used to prepare this statement was an assessment carried out by an independent third party (SERINZA SOLUTIONS SL).

Semi-automated validation tools:

• W3C (X)HTML Validator: A free online code validation service that checks whether documents comply with W3C grammars and other (X)HTML standards.
• SortSite is another online tool developed by the private company Powermapper Software. It allows website accessibility to be checked against WCAG 1.0 and 2.1, as well as other accessibility standards such as Section 508 in the United States.
• WAVE is a free validation tool based on WCAG 2.1 and Section 508 in the United States. It is developed by WebAIM (Web Accessibility in Mind), a non-profit organisation within the Center for Persons with Disabilities at Utah State University. This validator not only performs a detailed accessibility analysis but also provides information about page content and structure to help developers carry out tasks that require individual judgement.
• Axe Accessibility is a free validation tool that can be added as an extension to various browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox.
• Tawdis.net is used to review accessibility issues and identify errors in the source code.
• WCAG Color Contrast Checker, a Chrome extension, is used to assess the contrast between colours in the web application.

Manual checks:

• Confirming that font sizes can be increased and that the page remains usable with large font sizes.
• Checking that the element receiving focus is clearly highlighted, both when using a mouse and when navigating with a keyboard.
• Testing pages at different screen resolutions and/or with different window sizes.
• Viewing pages to ensure that they automatically adopt the "High Contrast Black" appearance or another similar setting selected in the computer's system preferences.
• Reviewing the contrast between background and text, both in page content and in images.
