The agreement will allow maintaining and expanding actions of conservation and recovery of biodiversity initiated within the framework of LIFE + Ripisilvanatura.

The Mayor of Calasparra, José Vélez, and the Director of ANSE, Pedro García, accompanied by the Councilor for the Environment Ricardo García and with the support of the Directorate General for the Natural Environment directed by Consuelo Rosauro, have signed a Custody agreement Territory that affects two municipal estates: the Juan Vacas Island and the left bank of the Almadenes Canyon.

The agreement, which reaches almost 300 hectares, has been established within the framework of the LIFE + Ripisilvanatura, a project financed by the LIFE financial instrument of the European Union. The area covered by the agreement is located on the banks of the Segura River and has notable environmental values .

In the case of the Almadenes Canyon, it is a Special Conservation Area (Sierras and Vega Alta del Segura and Ríos Alhárabe and Moratalla (ES6200004)) and a Special Protection Area for Birds (Sierra del Molino, Quípar Reservoir and Llanos del Cagitán) forming part of the Natura 2000 Network.
