Flora and Fauna 

The Tramuntana range stands out for its remarkable endemic flora and unique plant species. It is home to 65 of the endemic species described in the Balearic archipelago and 65 of Mallorca’s own endemic plants. The range hosts nine species of orchids and over a dozen species of ferns. The holm oak forest, an ancient native woodland, finds its main strongholds in this area and serves as the only refuge for tree species typical of colder climates, such as the yew.

The wildlife of the Serra de Tramuntana is rich in endemic species, including populations of threatened animals such as the osprey and the black vulture.

The most iconic endemic species is the ferreret or Mallorcan midwife toad. There are 22 bird species and three mammal species considered game animals. On the one hand, rabbit and hare are classified as small game, while the Balearian boc is the primary big game species. On the other hand, there is a wide range of game birds: red-legged partridge, quail, and pheasant; several waterfowl species including nine types of ducks, as well as the coot and common snipe (Gallinago). Additionally, four species of thrushes, the starling, woodcock, wood pigeon, Eurasian collared dove, and rock dove are also present (F. Sánchez Montes).
