Nature in Asturias is well represented by deep deciduous forests and rugged mountains but the ocean-atmosphere interaction too. However, although many people know Asturias as “Natural paradise” our home land is actually more a farming area than anything else. Animals (brown bear population -for instance- is local, not reintroduced) plants and humans have coexisted for thousands of years therefore our natural heritage really needs a cultural approach.

Geoface support a cultural conservation of the Asturian natural environment in different ways. One of our biggest efforts is supporting local beekeepers, mainly at the countryside  but outside protected areas, where usually nobody watch at neither care about. Concerning the bees and its important role as pollinators GEOFACE is involved in fighting against plagues as the Asian wasp (Vespa velutina) and helping local producers in order to be adapted to the clima change.

Knowledge and information are a corner stone for preservation so GEOFACE offers a wide range of scientific/research tourism activities focused in territory issues with two main goals: repopulation of abandoned areas and wild fires prevention.
