Regarding the island wildlife, harbor colonies of yellow-legged gulls, Mediterranean shags breeding whose points are located on the cliffs of Ons. Also, the island is home to other birds such as the Red-billed Chough and Alpine Swift. Especially noteworthy, Gallician guillemots, once plentiful but now almost extinct both in the Cies and Ons Islands, this is because this specy is highly sensitive and can not stand to be disturbed or frightened during breeding, therefore, they often abandon their chicks and are also extremely affected by marine pollution. Hence the importance of the explanations of our guide in relation to measures to be taken for their protection and conservation.

Formerly, the flora of the island was covered with native tree mass formed by Rebolos (typical Turkey Oaks from Ons and Cies islands), nowadays the island is almost completely deforested and are few specimens of that tree. Most of the island is covered with scrub vegetation reduced to willows and alder tree of the streams and fountains and a copy of Pine, Eucalyptus and Pyrinean Oak (Meloxo). At all times we will follow the instructions of our guide for the preservation of the flora of the sand, taking basic measures can be ensured only by the perimeter and deliminatas gateways for this purpose.
