Environmental Relevance

The public-private collaboration with Repsol allows for the financing and execution of protection, monitoring, and habitat improvement actions for the species, in line with regional and national biodiversity strategies.

The publication of the addendum in the official gazette provides legal certainty to the agreement and guarantees its transparency, as it remains available to the public in the General Registry of Agreements of the Autonomous Community of Aragon.
