We protect invaluable natural spaces
Nature Spaces Network
The Nature Spaces Network belonging to the foundation is unique in Catalonia and Spain. The spaces were acquired with the aim of preserving and managing areas with a high environmental value and beautiful landscapes. Organising and managing these natural spaces allows us to support biodiversity and protect the local landscape, while providing opportunities to the people living in these areas.

Biodiversity
We care for the species that are the most threatened. Our biodiversity conservation projects include dissemination, monitoring and land management projects; population tracking and studies; and support for a variety of reintroduction initiatives.
Know moreForest management
Forests produce many direct benefits (wood, fruit, firewood, game). And they are also very profitable indirectly since they act to modulate the water cycle. Thus, they prevent erosion, contribute to keeping the air composition stable and serve as a refuge for biodiversity.
Know moreOpen spaces
Leaving pastures, mown fields and crops fallow because it is not profitable to farm them is an invaluable loss to our cultural and environmental heritage.
Know moreWetland restoration
Wetlands like deltas, ponds, lagoons and marshes are ecosystems that harbour a vast diversity of animal and plant life, yet they are also the most threatened ecosystems in the world.
Know moreBiological corridors
Biological corridors are essential to connect protected areas or areas with major biodiversity which are far away from each other or separated by man-made barriers.
Know moreEuropean projects
European projects (LIFE and POCTEFA) are some of the main components of the European Union's environmental policy, as their goal is to contribute to the implementation, development and improvement of European environmental policies.

Environmental education
Through activities and stays, we want to offer impactful, positive experiences which make participants rethink our bond with nature and how we can personally act to improve the current state of the environment and its natural elements.
Know moreEcotourism and health
Direct contact with nature gives us health and well-being, both physically, psychologically and emotionally. However, it is said that we suffer from a "nature deficit syndrome" due to the progressive move away from the natural environment, with our society having become more and more urban.
Land stewardship
Land stewardship is an outstanding tool to help manage and conserve public or private spaces.
Know moreFood and the local area
Food production shapes the local area, diversifies the landscape, and when carried out in a sustainable and extensive way, it encourages biodiversity.
Know moreClimate change
Different projects evaluate and provide rigorous information on the vulnerability of ecosystems and on our region by reporting on the effects of climate change.
Know moreParticipation in networks
The Foundation participates in networks with other organisations to support new initiatives, roll out new ideas, learn new practices and disseminate the messages and the knowledge acquired.
Know moreNature Campus
Programme targeted at baccalaureate students with a particular interest in the field of biodiversity and nature conservation with the goal of encouraging youths’ scientific vocations in this field of research.
