ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

The National Agency for Climate Change and Energy is the department of the Government of Andorra, Ministry of Environment, devoted to implement the recently approved law about the Energy Transition and Climate Change. Among the goals of the law, there is the identification for the most vulnerable economic sectors and industries to climate change in Andorra and identify their potential impacts and strategies to adapt. Tourism, and especially mountain tourism, as one of the main economic activities of the country has been identified as a priority for the government. The otter population has recovered in the last seventeen years after being practically extinct from the fluvial courses of Andorra thanks to having been able to gather a dozen specimens of the
species. The bearded vulture, a vulture-eagle bird that lives in the Andorran Pyrenees, has been another of the species recovered after the renewal of the development agreement of the Action Plan for the Conservation of Bearded Vultures in Andorra (PACT). The task of the Fauna Recovery Center, which cares for some 200 animals throughout the year, is also essential.

All guides hold the Spanish official Outdoors and Mountain Guide qualification. All are Spanish nationals. Some guides are local to the specific area of Andorra.
