The Species and their environment
The natural protected areas of the province of jaen are the abode
of numerous species of animals.The fauna of Jaen, both for quantity
and variety, is considered to be one of the most important in Spain
and Europe. In Cazorla, Segura and Las Villas, the presence of mammals
such as the Red deer, Fallow deer, mouflon, wild boar and Spanish
Ibex or mountain goat is outstanding. Royal eagles, Griffon vultures
and other birds of prey flyover the skies of these green lungs. The
Bearded Vulture or "bone-breaker", a bird in danger of extinction,
returns to dominate the skies of this natural region. The rivers of
crystal clear water are inhabited by indigenous trout and numerous
otter communities. Amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates bring a
touch of colour to this natural space. In Despeñaperros and
the Sierra of Andujar there are also valuable communities of lynxes
and wolves. Sierra Magina possesses plant species, exclusive to this
Park, which flourish amongst its highest peaks. |
