The guide collects and explains the history, the natural environment and the management of the Natural Reserve of s’Albufereta since this figure of protection was established. In addition, you can find information on the most representative flora and fauna of the Reserve, either by the importance of the conservation of species or by the ease of seeing them. It also includes information on the three itineraries enabled within s’Albufereta, two on foot and one by bicycle, to tour it and learn about the natural and cultural values.
Mir thanked the daily work done by the staff working in the Reserve, “and that has facilitated, along with the various authors involved, the edition of this complete and comprehensive publication that helps us to convey the values of one of the most important wetlands not only of Mallorca but of the archipelago”. The counsellor assured that having tools like this “facilitates the task of environmental education, essential to guarantee the right of access to the natural environment from a respectful vision with the environment and to convey the importance of protecting it to conserve it”.
The researcher Tomàs Vibot has been in charge of presenting the contents of the guide, which includes texts by several authors, as well as photographs by Sebastià Bota, Miquel Àngel Dora, Llorenç Llobera and Sebastià Torrens, and illustrations by Vicenç Sastre and Biel Bonnin.
In addition, and within the framework of the activities organized for the twentieth anniversary of the Nature Reserve, the photographic exhibition ‘The hidden species of s’Albufera and s’Albufereta’ has been organized, a compilation of images of 43 different species that represent the different habits of both the Natural Park and the Reserve.
The exhibition, in the Auditorium of Alcúdia until January 10, is part of the photographic project WhiteLife Photography, conservation and awareness of biodiversity, where the authors, through photographs in situ on a white background, aim to show the detail of the morphology of each species.
The exhibition can be visited from Monday to Friday from 9am to 9pm. From December 23rd, and during the holidays, the opening hours will be from 9 am to 2 pm. The printed walking guides will be available at the S’Albufera Information Center and at the Conselleria de Medio Ambiente y Territorio.
