The Balearic Government opens two months of public consultation to renew the management of the Sa Dragonera Natural Park. Current plans date back to 1995 and require an update to regulate uses and activities. Participation will help define how to protect this emblematic space, adapting it to current environmental and social challenges.
Sensors and drones to monitor conservation on the island 🛰️
The plan update aims to integrate technology for tracking species and visitors. The use of environmental sensors to measure air quality and noise is proposed, as well as drones to monitor unauthorized access. Visitor flow data will also be digitized to adjust visitor limits and avoid overcrowding during peak season, improving management without constant human intervention.
Two months to give your opinion, but no WiFi on Dragonera 📵
The Government gives two months for citizens to give their opinion on the future of Sa Dragonera. Great, except that on the island there is barely any coverage and those who visit usually go to disconnect. So you know: if you want to participate, better bring your ideas written on paper before boarding, lest you have to send messages in a bottle for them to arrive on time.
