Biodiversity

Species and Habitats

The Balearic Islands are home to over 300 endemic species, many of which are in grave danger of extinction. These species are not only precious treasures in the Islands, but also valuable assets to the world at large.

To preserve these unique creatures, it is crucial to conserve and restore their habitats and have a comprehensive understanding of their populations and the threats they face. With this knowledge, we can take the necessary steps to protect their habitats, which are the very foundations of their survival. Conserving the Islands’ biodiversity is not only a scientific and technical challenge, but also a social and cultural one. All segments of society, including the government, academia, private sector, and local communities, must come together to ensure the preservation of these species.

Preserving the endemic species of the Balearic Islands requires our full attention, dedication, and responsibility. We must embrace this challenge to ensure their continued existence.
