Each of the Balearic Islands has its own typical biosphere. The landscapes vary widely, not only from one Island to another, but also within the Islands. Majorca for example accommodates some rough mountain ranges on one side of the island and much smoother hills on the other side, with some wide plains, green forests and many olive or orange tree fields in between. Menorca is mostly known because of its clean environment, and Ibiza and Formentera because of the pine trees and salt mines. The smaller archipelago Cabrera that also belongs to the Balearic Islands accommodates a variety of rare flora and fauna species, which are definitely worth a boat trip to these nature paradises. The sky above the Balearics is filled with many bird species. The rocky coves, the plains, the forests and the mountains all accommodate their own bird life. To protect all this natural beauty against tourism, a Balearic activist group has created several Natural Parks. Discover the natural wealth of the Balearics.
