After a long process, this Wednesday, March 31, the visit to the Cova de S'Aigua was given to the general public. It is expected that during the first two months, April and May, they can be visited free of charge.

 

People who want to visit it can purchase tickets that are already available on the website www.nanventura.es.  Unfortunately there are no tickets left!  They were all gone within hours of them being available, so everyone will have to wait.

 

Below is information about the organisations aims and works on the Island.

Menorca Biosphere Reserve Agency

 

Established in 2008, it is a specialized non-legal organization under the authority of the Consell Insular de Menorca island government. It is made up of different branches: the President, the Administrative Council, the Social Council and the Scientific Council.

Its main responsibilities are to manage and execute actions so as to work towards the Biosphere Reserve’s primary goals, with regard to sustainable management, education, conservation and development of the region. Please feel free to consult our statutes (there is a link on their website) 

The Biosphere Reserve’s natural environment

The Biosphere Reserve shelters a unique natural variety. Menorca is home to a wide array of natural landscapes that are full of life. Furthermore, the climate and the island’s singular geological diversity have fostered the conservation of a very rich biodiversity.  

Nature and humankind coexist in the same space by keeping a perfect balance between them. In a Biosphere Reserve, the caring for and preservation of the environment is a key factor to be able to survive in harmony.

Environment 

Courses of action:

Conservation of natural heritage (geodiversity and biodiversity), ensuring the integrity and diversity of the biotic communities, as well as the genetic diversity of the species that form it.

• Evaluation and monitoring of the natural ecosystems.
• Environmental management of the coast and other natural areas present on the island.
• Waste management, sustainable use of water and natural and energy resources.
• Territorial planning as a key instrument in striving for balance between its use and the principles of the Biosphere Reserve.Work as an outdoor sustainability laboratory to collect information about the Biosphere Reserve status and thus be able to use this knowledge for decision-making processes on its own management.
