Plan Military Uses National Maritime-Terrestrial Park of Cabrera, which allows military maneuvers in the Balearic Islands, was approved last March 18th by the National Park Board with the only opposition GOB and Greenpeace. Environmental organizations (Friends of the Earth , Ecologists in Action, Greenpeace Spain, Baleares GOB, SEO / Birdlife and WWF Spain) disagreed with this plan that considered "unnecessary" because "would negative impacts on an area of \u200b\u200bhigh ecological value. " For environmentalists, the maximum figure of environmental protection granted to a territory by the legal system, the National Park " is incompatible with the holding of military maneuvers. "

Conditions of Use Archipelago Cabrera by the Army were to be determined from the National Park was established in 1991. The Master Plan Use and Management (PRUG) Cabrera for the 2006-2012 period stated that "in accordance with the provisions of the Act creating the National Park, it is necessary to develop a plan that reconciles the military uses activity of this ministry with the criteria and objectives of the National Park. " This will give a maximum of one year, but eventually had to wait four years to be ready for military use plan, a delay that environmental organizations is an indication that the plan is neither urgent nor necessary .
For his part, President of the Board of Cabrera, Albert Catalan told Diario de Mallorca that "has sought to formalize an application that had already been going on for 1991. In the approved plan gives priority to conservation and preservation of biodiversity in the archipelago over any other consideration, unless extreme circumstances of national security. "
The president of the National Park Board also outlined the conditions imposed the newly adopted Plan: "There may be no military exercises with live ammunition or blank ammunition. Can not access the reservation areas bounded for research projects as well as restricted use. Nor can perform underwater activities outside the points for them. Also, if trying to land maneuvers, they must meet the routes marked and never exceed the presence of more than three hundred people simultaneously in the natural environment in a single day. "
Para Catalán, "no hay que olvidar que Cabrera es propiedad del ministerio de Defensa y que desde su declaración como parque nacional, en 1991, no ha habido ningún problema con la presencia militar en el archipiélago".
El GOB ( Grup Balear d'Ornitologia i Defensa de la Naturalesa) coincide con el presidente del Patronato del Parque Nacional en que “en estos momentos la presencia de personal militar, que se ha ido reduciendo progresivamente desde 1991, no tiene una incidencia negativa en la gestión del espacio ni en la consecución de sus objetivos de conservación y uso público.”
Sin embargo, el GOB denuncia que con el Plan aprobado por el Patronato “se abre la puerta a un escenario muy distinto, con maniobras de hasta 300 militares.”“Este tipo de ejercicios no deberían tener lugar dentro de un espacio protegido del más alto nivel, como es el Parque Nacional de Cabrera. Existen muchas localizaciones alternativas para que el ejército pueda realizar ejercicios de adiestramiento sin tener que recurrir a un espacio de la máxima ecological importance and significant public use " demands the Balearic conservation organization.
Previously used as a base of operations and target shooting by the army, the National Park of Cabrera Archipelago was created in 1991 and is considered the best example of island ecosystems undisturbed in the Mediterranean country. The park houses a major natural wealth includes one of the best preserved seabed of the English coast, together with endemic species and large colonies of seabirds, some endangered, as Gull Audouin .

Looking for information on the subject I have found a story he wrote Benigno Rods in the country on progress in the protection of Cabrera Archipelago. The news is in 1986, five years before it was declared National Park. Provides very interesting data on the military use made of the Archipelago: "The report calls for scientists to be declared Cabrera Terrestrial and Marine National Park."
