| Sumario: | [eng] The growing social awareness on the need to conserve natural habitats has also taken into account the conservation of underground habitats and their environment. Therefore have been developed a range of strategies and conservation measures, as well as regulatory issues aimed to their protection. The Balearic Islands have not been exempt from these legislative initiatives, which are related to international regulations established by European states in order to adopt conservation measures for these habitats. This is a paper that outlines some of these measures. Perhaps the first initiative that has brought about this change of paradigm, shifting from species conservation to conservation of habitats as a more efficient measure to protect the species and locations of these species, was the sum of two European directives: the Habitats Directive and Birds Directive, resulting in the Natura 2000 network. In its development in the Balearics, for the first time some explicit protection of 30 Mallorcan caves is regulated in an initial list of proposed Sites of Community Importance. The European framework directive on water policy also refers to the conservation of groundwater. Spanish statal regulations, the law of Biodiversity, and regional regulations as the law for the Conservation of Environmentally Relevant Spaces (LECO) also lists the proposed Natura 2000 network. This has made that a natural territory as the Paraje Natural de la Serra de Tramuntana contains a list of caves to protect as Places of Scientific Interest as well as the largest karst region of the Balearic Islands and, in a similar way, Cova des Pas de Vallgornera has been proposed as a Natural Monument. |
