Leisure and conservation on the Serra de Tramuntana

The GOB and WWF Adena, in their campaign for the protection of the Serra de Tramuntana, have edited 10,000 informative leaflets that will be distributed particularly by the municipalities of the Serra and among the collectives that have most connection with this topic.

According to the promotors of the campaign, the protection of the natural areas assures the survival of environmental, cultural and scenic values of a particular territory. Tourism, and in general recreational activities, can promote a new source of income for the public who have always lived in these areas, improving their quality of life and wellbeing. But certain kinds of activities, above all according to how they are carried out, can end up destroying these natural area, which can cause the destruction of this heritage, and the degradation of its attraction. Therefore, they are requesting the Balearic Government certain action to obtain the balance between leisure and conservation, such as the edition and approval of a Plan for the Control of Natural Resources (PORN) for the Serra de Tramuntana, or the adoption of measures that will guarantee the continuity of the traditional economical activities that respect the surroundings.
