ecosistemas mediterráneos

Mediterranean ecosystems are environments found around the Mediterranean Basin, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. They support diverse plant and animal life adapted to these conditions, such as evergreen shrubs, olive trees, and various wildlife. These ecosystems are important for their unique biodiversity, agricultural productivity, and cultural significance. However, they are also vulnerable to threats like deforestation, urbanization, and climate change, which can disrupt their delicate balance and reduce biodiversity. Protecting Mediterranean ecosystems is crucial for maintaining environmental health, supporting local communities, and preserving these characteristic landscapes.
