The Falkland Islands Executive Council this week approved legislation to establish the Hill Cove Mountains National Park and make it a legally protected area. This follows the earlier approval of the Hill Cove Mountains National Park Policy and Management Plan. The park will officially be designated upon publication of the legislation in the Gazette.

The Falkland Islands Environment Department has launched a consultation on the proposed designation of the FIG owned land in the Hill Cove Mountains on West Falkland as a National Park.
