29 Feb Serra de Montsant Natural Park approves Recommendations

On the 13^th February 2008 the Board of the Natural Park of Serra de Montsant, Catalonia, Spain, decided to unanimously approve the recommendations of the case-study prepared by Jordi Falgarona, Jaume Estarellas and Josep-Maria Mallarach. The approved recommendations include an expansion of the protected area, and 13 significant planning, public use, education and management measures, aiming to improve the effective integration of natural, cultural and spiritual values within the Natural Park.

This positive outcome has been largely the result of Mr. Ricard Pasanau’s (president of the Board) and Ms. Neus’s Miró (management director of the Park) -to whom grateful appreciation is due- recognition of the goals of the Delos Initiative, and the support of the Silene Association. The Natural Park of Serra de Montsant will be one of the three case-studies of The Delos Initiative proposed as field trips to the participants of the Barcelona WCC.
