Guides for responsible travellers

Travellers eager to embrace a sustainable tourism can benefit from resources like the visitor guides provided by IbizaPreservation. These guides outline simple but impactful practices such as using reusable water bottles, respecting natural habitats, and choosing local over imported products. By following these recommendations, visitors can enjoy a fulfilling holiday while leaving a positive mark on the island.

Dive into conservation projects

Ibiza’s marine ecosystem is as important as its picturesque landscapes. The conservation of Posidonia oceanica, an essential seagrass species in the Mediterranean, is one of the island’s top priorities. This plant not only protects the coastline from erosion but also absorbs significant amounts of CO₂, making it a vital ally in the fight against climate change.

Visitors can learn about ongoing efforts to safeguard this underwater treasure and even participate in snorkelling or diving activities that promote awareness of its importance.
