OBJECTIVES


Based on the fact that planning must be a continuous process, it has been understood the need to set the following specific objectives of the Management Plan so that they are developed progressively:

*To guarantee the conservation, recovery and improvement of habitats, species and natural heritage.
For this reason, it is necessary to increase knowledge of current biodiversity and the potential to increase it. Some possible paths that are considered of interest are:


  1. * Carry out monitoring of unique species, bioindicators and those of special biological value in the Turó, using scientific methodologies.
    * Collaborate with HOLCIM in the MITECO pilot program of the Integrated Biodiversity Information System (SIIB).
    * Apply the monitoring established by HOLCIM to its Nature Strategy through the BIRS methodology.

Initially, flora monitoring is planned, with a specific census of orchids and the control of invasive and exotic species, and fauna monitoring, specifically birds, epigeous invertebrates, xylophagous and pollinators, meso-carnivores, micro-mammals, bats and butterflies.

Specifically, it is planned to carry out fauna monitoring and measures to improve the HIC 6220 habitat planned in the Plan for Monitoring and Compensatory Measures on the Natural Environment in Turó de Montcada.

The appropriate methodologies will be selected for each species, prioritizing as much as possible those supported by the greatest scientific consensus. The species to be monitored may vary in the development of the Territory Custody Agreement depending on the results and new opportunities that may appear.

In addition to monitoring, conservation projects will be carried out aimed at protected, unique or threatened flora and fauna habitats and species:

  1. - Restoration and/or configuration of habitats of interest.
    - Creation of refuges, nesting and feeding areas to promote species such as cave fauna, insectivorous birds, bats, pollinators, etc.
    - Be aligned with the Serra de Collserola Natural Park when it comes to the conservation of biodiversity and ecological processes, taking into account biotic and abiotic factors.
    - Promote the biodiversity and ecological values ​​of the Finca del Turó de Montcada, assessing the possibility of leaving the forests and habitats of the Finca in free evolution, in order to be able to monitor and evaluate the state of conservation of biodiversity in the absence of actions in the natural environment, except for those that may be considered appropriate by the Custodian Entity and HOLCIM.
