Despite its being a part of a capital city, El Pardo with its woods and river is an ecologically important landscape.

It enjoyed protection from development as a hunting estate associated with the Royal Palace of El Pardo.

In the 1980s the European Union designated the Monte de El Pardo as a Special Protection Area for bird-life.
