The Murcia region of Spain is investing €843,187 between 2025 and 2027 in a program dedicated to conserving protected and threatened wild flora. This initiative aims to enhance biodiversity protection, closely monitor endangered species, and promote environmental sustainability, with co-financing from European and regional funds.
The primary goal is to gather and assess crucial biological data on the conservation status of protected species in the region. Key actions include monitoring invasive species, implementing recovery plans for protected species, conducting floristic inventories, and supporting the Wild Flora Center. This comprehensive approach will aid in making informed environmental management decisions.
The region has already taken action, including removing over 155 tons of invasive biomass from over 32 hectares in Totana. They have also reintroduced more than 4,000 native flora specimens. Additionally, over 66,000 square meters of habitats degraded by invasive species have been restored in Calblanque Regional Park.
