Between Protection and Use: The New Law for the Serra de Tramuntana Under Scrutiny

Answer

Why is enforcement of the Serra de Tramuntana law seen as a problem in Mallorca?

The draft includes strong sanctions, but fines alone do not stop damage if there are not enough people to monitor the area. Controlling off-road tracks, unauthorized works and repeated violations would require rangers, coordination with municipalities or another clear system. Without that, the law risks becoming stronger on paper than in practice.
