Specialists from the Center for Environmental Engineering and Biodiversity (CIBA) in Moron, Ciego de Avila province, are in charge of rehabilitating that Outstanding Natural Element, where they have already planted over 1,174 seedlings of different varieties, using the tube tree reproduction technique .

The environmental researcher Daylon Fundora pointed out that the activity is part of the coastal dune rehabilitation project they are carrying out in the tourist region to mitigate disaster risks and adapt to climate change.

Fundora attached importance to reforestation in these areas because it helps to retain the sand on the beaches in case of strong winds, prevents coastal erosion and maintains the ecological harmony of the area.

“The dunes are very fragile sites exposed to the vulnerability of climate change, atmospheric phenomena and human activity, so their restoration is vital to keep the dynamic balance that makes the beach’s existence possible,” explained Fundora.

The beaches surrounding Pilar Beach are 15 meters above sea level, recognized for being the highest in the insular Caribbean and guarding one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, in addition to having a seasonal functioning mechanism with marked differences between summer and winter.

Because of its high aesthetic qualities, high level conservation and variety of wildlife species, it is a pleasant landscape to the sight of foreign tourists visiting the King’s Gardens destination.
