Plan of action for the protected natural areas of Spain

This week the fourth meeting of the work group Europarc-España took place in Escorca (Mallorca). This entity is in charge of compiling a Plan of Action for protected natural areas of Spain. The meeting, organised by the General Direction for Biodiversity of the Environment Department of the Balearic Government, continued until Friday, with the participation of all the people responsible for Europarc, the Balearic government experts and representatives of parks in other autonomous communities.

The Plan of Action is a reference document with the desire of recording a shared vision on the part to be played by protected areas in the society of the XXI century. The Plan will be presented in the World Park Congress that will take place in South Africa in September , 2002.

In Spain there are some 600 protected natural areas that cover 3.2 million hectares, a little over 6% of the territory. Europarc-España, the Spanish section of the Federation of Natural and National Parks of Europe (Europarc), gathers together the majority of entities involved in the planning and administration of these areas.
