Menorca & Preservation

Since 1993 Menorca has had the distinction of being a UNESCO Biospere Reserve.

The main characteristic of the Menorca Biosphere Reserve is the diversity characteristic of nearly all Mediterranean island ecosystems.

The most notable habitats are the gullies, caves, wetlands made up of ponds, lagoons and marshes, dune systems, coasts and islets.

Some 220 species of birds, and 1000 species of plants (60 of which are endemic) have been recorded.

Menorca is still home to many marine landscapes and communities that have already disappeared around many other Mediterranean coastal areas, with a level of quality and diversity that is virtually unrivalled.
