The Península de Llevant Natural Park is a unique natural space in the Balearic Islands where mountainous and coastal zones converge. It hosts a diversity of plant and animal species in a relatively small area and has significant ethnological heritage which is vital to the tourism industry, attracting visitors with its pristine landscapes. Unfortunately, it is also an area with the highest recurrence of forest fires in the entire archipelago. Some areas in the region have been burned up to five times in the last 30 years and are a significant example of the indiscriminate nature of fire. This has led to the degradation of the landscape, resulting in issues such as biodiversity loss, soil erosion, hydrological imbalances, and even situations of extreme desertification.
The TUI Care Foundation and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fishing and Environment of the Balearic Islands have initiated a project to continue the commitment of tourism to the biodiversity of the Península de Llevant Natural Park by strengthening the existing TUI Forest and extending the area to Son Real. 42,000 more fire-resistant, native trees and 6,000 plants will be planted by the end of 2028. Reforestation activities are complimented by awareness raising initiatives and experiences for locals and tourists.
