Other measures carried out on the finchas include the construction of an “Insect Hotel” and the creation of shelters by stacking stones.
1. Insect Hotel: A Luxury Shelter for Small Inhabitants
A special corner has emerged in our community, designed exclusively for our six-legged friends. This “Insect Hotel” is much more than just a shelter; it is an architectural masterpiece for beetles, bees and butterflies. With cosy compartments and natural materials, this hotel offers a safe space conducive to reproduction, thus contributing to the life cycle essential for our ecosystem.
2. Stacked Stone Shelter: An Oasis for Wildlife
The simple but effective technique of stacking stones has created idyllic refuges for local wildlife. These “stone houses” not only provide hiding places for small mammals and reptiles, but also act as observation points for birds. This project not only enhances biodiversity, but also offers residents the opportunity to witness the fascinating life of our wildlife in their own backyard.
Why are these improvements crucial for local wildlife?
- Habitat Diversity: These initiatives multiply the spaces available for wildlife, increasing habitat diversity and providing options for different species.
- Biodiversity Enhancement: By providing specialised refuges, we are promoting the coexistence of a wide range of species, from pollinating insects to small mammals.
- Environmental Education: In addition to their ecological benefits, these improvements also provide opportunities for environmental education, allowing the community to learn about and appreciate the importance of local wildlife.
These actions not only beautify our environment, but also consolidate our commitment to the preservation of local biodiversity.
