The natural environment of Ibiza is influenced both by Spain but also has a taste of Italy and islands such as Sardinia. Ibiza and Formentera are named the Pityouses after the pine trees, Pinus Halepensis, Juniperus Phoenicia, that grows abundantly on the land. Careful study of the island will reveal that the rock is very similar to most of the rock on the island, a sort of cross between limestone, sand, basaltic rock and dust.
The area is also home to the rare Monk seal, 11 species of reptile and 56 species of invertebrates. 170 species of migratory birds have been recorded in the coastal lagoons and salt works in the area. Ibiza is not all beach and late nights it is also home to some wonderful wildlife and lets hope that the environments many benefits to tourism will help sustain these natural resources for many generations of our children.
