He Origin of the Pinsapos mass that we can find in Andalusia dates from the cold times of the quaternary, Period in which the Mediterranean Bassin was marked from a forest of primitive spruce, which had exercised from the north to shelter the low temperatures.
But About 20,000 years ago it started to be softer again and gradually make way for the Postglaciar era In which we are now and that is completely different from that of the origin of the tree.
A measures that the weather was getting warmer, the spruce were exiled to the highest peaks (where climatic conditions allow their survival), areolated from each other and evolve separately and in another way, which gives rise to the current species that form the Gender Abies.
The Pinsapos in Andalusia
The Minister of Sustainability and Environment of the Junta de Andalucía, Catalina García, was open this Thursday in Tomares, Sevilla, the ‘Nature Conservation Forum’, organized by Natura Initiative.
During her speech, the counselor nowadays emphasized that Andalusia is one of the most active European regions in the preservation of biodiversity, thanks to a sustainable effort of administrations, scientists, companies, environmental entities and citizenship, which can reach historical milestones such as the recovery of the Iberian Lynx (Lynx Pardinus) or, or can, or The claims with which the Pinsapo can be classified (Abiespo Boiss.) As “Vulnerable” and removes it from the “End of Extensing” category.
“Today we can proudly let the Iberian Lynx go from being Critical danger to be a vulnerable species, and that we work for the pinsapo, Symbol of our mountain ecosystems, take the same step thanks to the collective efforts and the fixed dedication of this ministry, “he said.
A kind to take care of
What he added to it: “What the recovery and nature conservation plans whose origin has been shown is that is that The large environmental challenges only exceed a common strategy and Well articulated. That is, paddling in the same direction. “
To do this, the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment has the elaboration of the Action program for the protection and repair of the pinsapo in the period 2025-2030.
He Pinsapo, an endemic Spar of the Western Mediterranean, has its most important distribution in Andalusia, In the Sierras de Las Nieves, Grazalema and Bermeja. Historically, this species has had to deal with several threats, including forest fires, over -paration, fragmentation of its populations, vermin and diseases, in addition to the effects of climate change.
His recording in the Andalusian catalog of endangered species in 1994, within the category of “in danger of extinction”It was the key to its protection and made the implementation of specific management and conservation measures possible.
The new action program of 2025-2030 objectives Consolidate the progress that guarantee and guarantee the long -term survival of Pinsapo and its forests in the long term. One of the most important trade lines is the Jungle Works and the improvement of forest fire prevention infrastructures in the Andalusian pinsapares, to reduce the risks associated with these disruptions and to promote the natural regeneration of these valuable forest systems.
