Interaction between species

Approx. 4-5 hours. Tour length: 5-8 km at a leisurely pace with breaks.

The tour includes nature guidance, hiking, and tasting samples of nature in the mountains. This includes studies of biodiversity in humid and dry areas at different altitudes in the form of habitat surveys and using a hygrometer.

The biodiversity tour focuses on the interaction between species, and the students will explore nature on the mountainside around Sóller. Along the way, there will be learning about the important role of insects for monoculture, polyculture, and for the wild nature in the Sóller valley.

The world’s birdlife is more complex and has greater significance for biodiversity than most people realize. The students will learn about the birds of Mallorca, how they travel around the world, and why there are so many different bird species in Mallorca.

On the tour, students will move around in areas where biodiversity is evident and examine the importance of a UNESCO protected area and how it is managed.
They will taste the plants and fruits they bring along, which are naturally found in the mountain range.

The students will be able to freely use various materials for the investigations on the tours to shed light on the included learning objectives, observations, empiricism, modeling and hands-on activities, which will appear in the daily program.

The tours conclude with the students presenting analyses and discussing the results in groups or in a common plenum.
