Site description (2000 baseline):
Site location and context
The IBA includes limestone cliffs along ravines,
Pinus halepensis forest, garrigue and some cultivation.
This is an important area for breeding raptors. Species of global conservation concern that do not meet IBA criteria:
Falco naumanni and
Larus audouinii (non-breeding).
Pressure/threats to key biodiversity
The main threats are from poison baits (`Other' threats, above) and new powerlines. A reduction in the rabbit
Oryctolagus cuniculus population has reduced prey availability for raptors (`Other' threats, above). The IBA overlaps with three Natural Areas of Special Interest.
National None
International None
