This project seeks to reconcile the conservation of biological and cultural diversity, economic and social development through the relationship between society and nature.

All the specimens in the park have a bit of a story since their origins are varied: some were born in captivity, others come from recovery centers or others have even been rescued from places where they did not receive the care they needed.

Several of the park's species have a degree of threat so they are in recovery projects, such as the European Bison, which implies that the calves born in Lacuniacha will be released into the wild in small populations of Bison in northern Europe.

The fauna park is located in the ancient forest of La Pinosa and can be divided into two distinct parts:

- Lacuniacha Baja : It is seen as a mixed forest, where we can observe different plant species, some of which are protected so none are allowed to be uprooted.

- Lacuniacha Alta : It is an ecosystem of large subalpine meadows, shrubs and small mountain flowers that make the place an unparalleled place.

Its route is laid out in such a way that you can visit all the enclosures of the different species that populate the park such as its deer : deer, fallow deer, reindeer, roe deer; its goats like the Iberian ibex; and its wild boars, mouflons, boreal lynx, European bison, sarrians, bears, Przewalski's horses, wolves, foxes and even ghouls and birds of prey in its observatory.
