State of conservation

The area of action of the LIFE project is part of the Espai Natural de l'Estany. Current official protection figures highlight the landscape and ecological values of this area:

NATIONAL RECOGNITION

- Space of Natural Interest - PEIN (Generalitat de Catalunya, 1993)
- Historic Garden of Natural Interest (Generalitat de Catalunya, 1997)

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION

- Site of Community Interest – SCI (European Community, 2003)
- Wetlands of International Importance (Ramsar Convention, 2003)

At the moment, the lake area is about to be declared a NATURAL PARK. This should herald further recognition of its values and the possibility of better management, a guarantee of greater protection and a safe future.
