For most of us, S’Espalmador It’s a name that doesn’t ring a bell. But this island nestled between Ibiza and Formentera in the Balearic Islands, has been put in the spotlight by Katy PerryThe new video for the film’s soundtrack, or rather, the controversy that the new single has sparked. Known for its pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters and untouched natural beauty, the island is part of the Ses Salines Natural Park, a protected area full of diverse flora and fauna. Its delicate ecosystem is a fragile balance that requires careful conservation.
What is it? The Katy Perry controversy?
The island of S’Espalmador is located north of Formentera, from which it is separated by a shallow sandbank, which is accessible at low tide, allowing travellers to move between the two on foot. The island is small, privately owned and uninhabited. The dunes, where Katy Perry filmed parts of her video, have great ecological value. The Department of the Environment of the Balearic Islands has expressed concern about the lack of necessary permits by the production company to film in this protected area. The department is investigating the possible environmental damage caused by the filming.
Footage from the video shows Perry dancing in the dunes behind protective ropes, suggesting the production crew may have strayed into restricted areas. While the extent of the damage is still being investigated, the incident has sparked a public outcry and raised questions about the impact of celebrity culture on fragile ecosystems.
The controversy surrounding Katy Perry’s music video highlights the importance of safeguarding our planet’s natural treasures. S’Espalmador is just one example of the countless ecosystems facing threats from human activities.
