The Estepona City Council informs that this Friday, April 19, at 8:00 p.m., the presentation of the book “Sierra Bermeja. Conservation and biodiversity values of serpentine ecosystems.

Structured in 14 chapters, this work describes in a multidisciplinary way the characteristics of this unique mountain, one of the largest and best exposed rock outcrops of the Earth's upper mantle worldwide.

The event will be presented by Daniel García, Councilor for Historical Heritage of the Estepona City Council, and will feature the intervention of José Gómez Zotano, geographer and professor at the University of Granada (Department of Regional Geographic Analysis and Physical Geography); Andrés V. Pérez Latorre, botanist and professor at the University of Málaga (Department of Botany and Plant Physiology); and José Manuel Dorado Rueda, director of La Serranía Publishing House.

The book, sponsored by the Estepona City Council, consists of almost 200 pages in which highly popular scientific texts are combined with a careful selection of color images that illustrate all its pages, in a high-quality paper edition.

The authors, coming from various scientific disciplines (Geography, Botany, Biology, Cartography, Computer Science and Archaeology), have been part of the Sierra Bermeja National Park Platform since 2007. With this work they show how Sierra Bermeja more than meets the requirements for its declaration as a National Park, which is why, after the declaration of the Sierra de las Nieves National Park in 2021, it should be part of an expansion that includes its protection. integral
