The Government has initiated disciplinary proceedings against those responsible for a private refuge for Pityusic wall lizards in Ibiza, which intended to protect these reptiles from the threat of invasive snakes. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Natural Environment proposes to impose a fine of 6,000 euros for having kept specimens of this protected species in an enclosure without having the corresponding authorization. The decision highlights the limits of private initiatives to contribute to the conservation of a species that is threatened by the proliferation of snakes in the Pityusic Islands.
