  1. PICOS DE EUROPA

  2. LOCATION On 30 May 1995, the Parliament approved the declaration of the National Park Picos de Europa

  3. MIDDLE RIVER Study of river environment It is understood that a knowledge of the river environment will lead to a better management of it and all the species of this medium.The objectives are: I. Characterization of types of flows II. Characterization of the forms that have the channels and their relationship to fluvial processes of erosion and sedimentation.• Fluvial Morphology • Fluvial Dynamics III. Stream Ecology Studies:• Physico-chemical water• Study of aquatic macroinvertebrates.• Study of the species, population densities, habitat assessment, fish, ...

  4. WILDLIFE

  5. BEARDED VULTURE Bearded Vulture Recovery Plan in National Parks. The National Park has been supporting the collective effort for the recovery of this highly endangered species for years, through their performances in the parks of Ordesa and Monte Perdido, Aigüestortes Sant Maurici and Picos de Europa. The results give rise to hope on a natural recolonization of this space, which has always been theirs. The success of this program is being observed throughout the eastern strip of the Cantabrian Mountains and Picos de Europa

  6. GROUSE Specific programme for the conservation of capercaillie in the Picos de Europa.In recent years, the grouse population in Spain has fallen considerably, to the point that today is one of the most endangered species, due to factors such as poaching, fragmentation and destruction of their habitats and human disturbance. In the Cantabrian Mountains, of the 582 males survived in 1982, only around 200 are left nowadays. Thus, according to the Master Plan of the Picos de Europa, Park Administration is developing a specific programme for the conservation of this species, in coordination with the plans in other Autonomous Communities

  7. CHAMOIS The National Park of Ordesa and Monte Perdido has been developing a control population census of the chamois since 1986, first in the old Mountain National Park of Covadonga and currently in Picos de Europa. The estimated population is about 5000 individuals.

  8. LIVESTOCK Conservation of indigenous livestock. The conservation of different native livestock breeds within the National Park Picos de Europa involves the maintenance of some traditional knowledge that has been developed since ancient times: the production of cheese, a traditional product . In recent years they have been carrying out a systematic study which includes all the information on diseases, preventive treatments, characteristics of livestock and population censuses. The presence of indigenous livestock, adapted to the physiognomy of these places, such as casina, keratin and tudanca cows, is the reservoir of genetic diversity.

  9. AMPHIBIANS Amphibians in the National ParkAmong the possible causes of the decline of amphibians are habitat alteration, increased ultraviolet radiation resulting from the destruction of the ozone layer, acidification of water or other chemical contaminants, predation by introduced exotic species , disease and climate change.The National Park Picos de Europa home ten species of amphibians being the most important: Dartford salamander, spotted salamander, the Alpine Iberian newt and long-legged frog.As this is an important area for amphibians in Spain, its population in the National Park Picos de Europa is being observed.

  10. BUTTERFLY Butterflies National ParkIn the National Park Picos de Europa 124 species of butterflies live safely.This great diversity of species in a physical frame so small, can be explained by the diversity of environments found in the Picos de Europa.We can also mention the presence of at least 625 species of moths in the Park.In any case, partial studies have shown a lack in what refers to nocturnal species.It is therefore necessary to complete the list of species of diurnal and nocturnal Lepidoptera in the Park.

  11. FLORA

  12. VEGETATION Conservation programme of vegetation In the National Park Picos de Europa, several studies have been performed related to the conservation of flora, collaboration in monitoring endangered species, or location of new populations of endangered plants.In 2004 It was decided to give a common framework for all these works, establishing a series of long-term objectives in the form of a Conservation Program of the Vascular Flora of the Picos de Europa National Park. Simultaneously, there was a List of Threatened Vascular Flora in the protected area.
