Today, January 31, we celebrate Tree Day, a special occasion to remember the importance of these giants of nature in our lives and the responsibility we have to care for and respect them.
The trees the largest living beings that have never populated the Earth, can reach heights of more than one hundred meters, masses of several thousand tons and ages of several thousand years. BIOPARC Valencia has a wide variety of species and specimens with fascinating features and on such a special day we want to highlight some of the most relevant performances.
El wooded is a part essential for the comfort of different animal species and recently a significant planting of Chorisias speciosas (known as bottle trees) in the gorilla and elephant enclosures. The aim is to enrich the environment of these animals, promote your well-being and stimulate their innate behaviors by introducing tree species with which they can coexist without harming them.
At BIOPARC you can see the largest collection of acacias in Europe and its care is essential, which is carried out individually. To do this, the professional team periodically applies a biological treatment to Acacia xanthophloea against the attack of a borer from the woodworm family, making them more resistant and capable of generating bark efficiently, thus combating the pest naturally.
It is also very interesting the way in which a copy of Kino (Schinus Terebinthifoli) protects itself from a predator, in this case a giraffe that was nibbling on him and caused him to grew inclined until it moves far enough away from danger and then continues its straight growth, seeking the necessary light and generating branches in the opposite direction to balance itself.
On the other hand, this Sunday, February 2, World Wetlands Day is commemorated.
These areas, although they only cover about 6% of the Earth's surface, are the habitat of 40% of all plant and animal species, making them one of the most valuable ecosystems.
Our country has true gems, among which is the Albufera of Valencia. In order to make this immense heritage known and raise awareness of the need to protect it, the Departments of Education and Animal Care They have prepared a proposal from 11am. with free activities such as gymkhanas, guided tours and environmental enrichments for The hippos in the area that recreates the great african wetlands and where you can contemplate the unique underwater vision in Spain of these charismatic animals.
Once again, BIOPARC shows its Commitment to the protection of nature through population awareness to the preservation of the rich biodiversity of our planet and with direct actions to conserve endangered species. These commemorations, through information and mobilization, allow us to focus interest on crucial issues for the future of society, calling on all “take action”.
