The regional government has distributed these resources across 7,100 hectares of public utility forests in municipalities such as San Martín de Valdeiglesias, Pelayos de la Presa, Navas del Rey, Robledo de Chavela, Villa del Prado, and Fresnedillas de la Oliva.
The food distribution included 45,120 kilograms of alfalfa bales, 10,000 kg of corn, and 1,000 kg of natural salt licks, each weighing between 5 and 10 kilograms. The distribution of corn is set to continue until a total of 33,840 kg has been provided.
A preliminary study was conducted to locate and monitor animal movements, identifying the most suitable areas for placing supplementary food and addressing other needs.
Wildlife experts from the Ministry of Environment, Agriculture, and Interior coordinated these efforts, with collaboration from local hunting associations who contributed their knowledge of the area.
To ensure access to water, 47 tanks of 1,000 liters and corresponding troughs for larger animals have been installed, along with 47 smaller tanks of 80 liters and basins for smaller creatures. The public company Canal de Isabel II provided the initial two 15,000-liter tankers.
This water supply will continue for a month and a half, with monthly refills and checks to ensure proper functioning or necessary repairs. Additionally, in coordination with hunting associations and the affected municipalities, natural springs are being cleaned to protect the survival and recovery of wild species.
