Lots of conflicts between #biodiversity #conservation and the continuous expansion of #astronomy & #astrophysic observatories in the summit of Caldera de #Taburiente NP (La Palma, #Canary Is.). The summit is a unique ecosystem, relatively small, with lots of endemics.

Happy World Environmental Day

Gap dynamics in the summit scrub of Caldera de #Taburiente NP (La Palma, #Canary Is): The death of #Adenocarpus viscosus (yellow flowers) allows #Viola palmensis (purple flowers) to flourish.

Amazing blooming with lots of endemics.
