The Directorate General of Biodiversity and Forest Management of the Community of Madrid has selected the Dehesa de Majadahonda to be part of the region's upcoming Fauna Observation Network. This initiative's primary objective is the conservation of Madrid's biodiversity, promoting ethical wildlife observation, and facilitating citizen access to this natural heritage.

This enclave, strategically located near the urban center and the M-50 highway, is one of the municipality's most emblematic forest areas. The dehesa is regularly frequented by residents and visitors for walking, sports activities, and enjoying its natural surroundings.

The Fauna Observation Network of the Community of Madrid aims to provide citizens with suitable spaces for responsible wildlife observation. It also seeks to promote environmental education, nature tourism, and economic activity linked to the region's rural and natural areas.

The selection of these observation points considered factors such as the variety of species present, accessibility by foot or bicycle, and parking availability. Detailed information on observable species and optimal sighting times has also been compiled.

Currently, work is underway on the network's signage and public promotion. The Dehesa de Majadahonda is notable for hosting birds of prey such as the eagle owl and the short-toed snake eagle, as well as a rich variety of small birds. It is also home to mammals like rabbits, foxes, and red squirrels, making it a place of great interest for observing fauna close to urban environments.

Laura Romero, Councilor for Environment of Majadahonda, expressed her satisfaction with the Community of Madrid's initiative and the dehesa's selection. She emphasized that the inclusion of this area strengthens Majadahonda's position as a municipality with valuable environmental heritage and accessible natural spaces.
