THE Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition has unveiled a plan to reforest 651 hectares of land in the Mar Menor region, investing €22.5 million in the project.
The initiative aims to enhance the ‘green belt’ of Mar Menor, which is part of a broader strategy to restore ecosystems, prevent the influx of sediments and pollutants, and improve the natural environment and landscape.
