Objectives
...............................................................................................................
Ecological restoration to minimise the impact
of human pressure in periurban areas
- Incorporation of restoration techniques to
reduce environmental degradation.
- Planting of hygrophilous species to reduce fire risk.
- A more environmentally-friendly approach by the local
population.
The objective in restoring natural micro-species in areas
of widespread development is achievement of biological
diversity in order to reduce human presence within them
and, at the same time, increase edaphic humidity so as
to encourage more hygrophilous species and reduce fire
risk during drought periods. In fact, it is a question
of creating a mosaic of species, with artificial irrigation
facilitating the growth of plant species that are more
resistant to the typical natural risks of the most xerophilous
Mediterranean areas.

Summary
...............................................................................................................
One of the characteristics of the areas in the Nature
Reserve Network of Barcelona Provincial Council is that
they contain natural habitats that have been subjected
to strong human pressure due to the proximity of built-up
areas. This constant coming and going of people that results
in degradation of the surroundings, which in turn is conducive
to the spread of forest fires and the accumulation of
all kinds of rubbish dumps. In this mosaic of periurban
natural habitats, the aim is to incorporate replanting
and ecological restoration techniques that contribute
to reducing environmental degradation.
At the same time, the change in the appearance
of these periurban natural areas encourages a more environmentally-friendly
attitude by the local population, which facilitates subsequent
conservation. Therefore, environmental results lead not
only to biological improvement of the periurban natural
surroundings, but also to a proportional decrease in fire
risk and recreational pressure, which in turn raises environmental
awareness among the local population.
