This project aims to create quality mapping of the habitats included in the Natura 2000 Network, in order to develop a study of the species, priority habitats and those of community interest (HIC) of the Balearic Islands.

The Balearic Islands have a total surface area of approximately 502,000 hectares, 230,000 hectares of which are forest area. There are approximately 50 Community interest Habitats, i.e., those habitats that stand out for their uniqueness, rarity or that are under threat in the Balearic Islands, although some of them may be divided in certain subgroups.
In this regard, the Balearic Islands’ terrestrial habitats mapping project (HIC) is related to the environment, the conservation and promotion of environmentally- relevant spaces and the preservation, modernisation and recovery of the natural environment.
It aims to increase knowledge of the distribution of habitats in the interior of the special conservation areas (SAC), specifying its location at a scale of 1:10,000, developing and upgrading the mapping of HIC habitats on the Balearic Islands.
The actions to be performed to obtain this mapping are based on the reference document for the mapping of habitats that is being developed within the biogeographical regions and Biotopes and Habitats technical working group (CTT) of the Biodiversity and Natural Heritage Spanish Inventory Committee (CIEPNB)
These activities primarily consist of the preliminary compilation of existing documentation (reference maps, forestry map, forest inventory, etc.), the study of habitats to be mapped, the use of geographic information systems, habitat study field work and the validation of the results of the CIS, and completion of the layers of mapping of the habitats in shape format.
