CEPSA - Annual and Corporate Responsibility Report 2015 - CEPSA - Annual and Corporate Responsibility Report 2015

During 2016 we will take part in a new biodiversity project, the Biodiversity Action Plans (BAP), at the Palos de la Frontera and San Roque facilities. The aim is to define a program, methods and mechanisms for monitoring lo- cal management of conservation and biodiversity enhancement in these locations. Each BAP will include the

conservation and biodiversity improve- ment actions we have been carrying out at La Laguna Primera de Palos in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva) since it was restored more than a decade ago, and in the Madrevieja Environment Station at San Roque (Cádiz), which was opened in 2014.
