The Environment Department of the Balearic Islands has announced that they will be launching an investigation to determine whether the filming of Katy Perry’s ‘Lifetimes’ music video caused any environmental damage to the protected dunes of S’Espalmador. This decision comes after concerns were raised by local environmental activists about the impact of the production on the delicate ecosystem of the area.
The music video, which was released in June, features scenes of Perry frolicking on the idyllic beaches of S’Espalmador, a small island located between Ibiza and Formentera. The area is known for its pristine beaches and unique flora and fauna, making it a popular destination for both tourists and conservationists.
In a statement, the Environment Department expressed their commitment to protecting the natural heritage of the Balearic Islands and ensuring that any activities taking place in the area are in compliance with environmental regulations. They emphasized the importance of preserving the fragile ecosystems of the islands for future generations.
The investigation will involve assessing the impact of the filming on the dunes of S’Espalmador, including any damage to vegetation, erosion of sand, or disturbance to wildlife. If any violations of environmental laws are found, the production could be subject to fines or other penalties.
Overall, the Balearic Islands are taking the issue of environmental conservation seriously and are working to ensure that any activities in protected areas are conducted in a sustainable and responsible manner. The results of the investigation will provide valuable information on the potential impacts of filming on sensitive ecosystems and help guide future decisions on conservation efforts in the region.
