Protect, Breed, Rescue

Conservation is at the heart of every policy and action undertaken, whether in restoration and maintenance of our heritage or in the protection, reintroduction or rescue of the hundreds of varied species that make their home in Gibraltar.

The protection of the Gibraltar Nature Reserve and all its assets, whether manmade or natural, are of supreme importance. A variety of teams undertake daily work to maintain sites making them fit for purpose and safe to visit as well as looking after a variety of habitats situated around the Reserve in the interest of a thriving ecosystem.

Lord Airey’s Battery restoration

Lord Airey’s Battery located just north of O’Hara’s Battery on the Rock’s highest point has been slowly and tirelessly restored by volunteers from the Heritage Trust lead by Pete Jackson a trustee on the board and a member of Fortress Gibraltar.

Named after the Governor of Gibraltar, General Sir Richard Airey, the artillery battery is home to one of three remaining 9.2-inch Mark X BL guns. Last fired in the 1970’s as part of a training exercise.

Mediterranean Steps refurbishment

In 2007 Mediterranean Steps was refurbished after it had been designated unsafe for use. Thanks to a generous donation by the Parasol Foundation (formerly the Bonita Trust) the trail was cleared, made safe and restored.

Since this time, it has become a popular site for budding photographers, exercise lovers and nature enthusiasts.

Charles V Wall refurbishment

The upper section of Charles V Wall has recently been restored by the Parasol Foundation (Formerly the Bonita Trust) together with the Government of Gibraltar. One of the fastest ways to reach the top of the Rock, the wall is fitted with handrails and commands wonderful views of the area as you hike toward the top.

At the time the Charles V Wall was built, the Barbary pirates posed the main threat to the city. In September 1540 Gibraltar was attacked by a corsair force led by Piali Hamet, one of Barbarossa‘s captains. The town was plundered and many of the leading citizens were taken captive. The wall, originally called the Muralla de San Benito (English: St. Benedict’s Wall), was built in 1540 to help defend The Rock against further attacks from the south.
