Project for the recovery of endangered species in the Montgó

January 11 from 2012 - 00: 02

El Natural Park Montgó is the place chosen for the Silene de Ifach and maritime arboreal lucerneTwo species endangered in Valencia, recover in an orchard of quality seeds that favor regeneration.

The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and the Environment has chosen the Montgó because it is one of the richest places in Western Europe, "With more than 900 different species of plants, many of them endemic, that is, they can only be found in the north of the province of Alicante and south of Valencia" according to Alfredo González, general director of Natural Environment.

Once technicians Park and the Center for Forest Research and Experimentation of the Generalitat (CIEF) collect seeds of wild populations of the two species to select the highest quality and plant them in a nursery of the park. Then those seeds to strategic areas, such as cut or cliffs, and places where plants have disappeared are sent.

Since 2009, when 4 wild specimens of Silene de Ifach and 45 of Maritime Alfalfa Arborea were recorded in the Montgó, seeds have been produced that have been transferred to Cabo de San Antonio, Cova de l'Aigua and Penya de l'Àguila.
