Answer

Why are wetlands in Mallorca so important?

Wetlands are important because they support biodiversity, help regulate water and provide habitat for birds and other wildlife. In Mallorca, they have long been sensitive areas because development pressure can quickly change their condition. Protecting them is not only about nature, but also about maintaining the island’s wider environmental balance.
