Biodiversity

The Protection of Biodiversity is a Priority

Protecting and Promoting Biodiversity
 

As a leading organization in water management, we are convinced of the importance of conserving natural resources. As a result, we take especial care of the natural ecosystems in the area of our facilities through action plans for the integration and recovery of biodiversity.

Strategy for Biodiversity
  • Restauration of key ecosystems in the water cycle
  • Education and awareness
  • Prevention and control of threats and impacts
  • Promotion of ecosystem services in urban areas
  • Infrastructure naturalization

 

We collaborate with the Association of Southeast Naturalists (ANSE) for the "Promotion of Biodiversity" in the management of Aguas de Murcia. In this way synergies and important objectives  can be achieved that have a very positive impact on the conservation of biological diversity and on Goal 15 of the United Nations: "Promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, combat desertification, stop and reverse land degradation, and slow the loss of biological diversity".
