To highlight the deterioration of these iconic structures, the windmills were placed on the 1998 Watch. Many of the windmills are privately owned, making it difficult to carry out a uniform restoration project for all the windmills. However, various groups have made efforts to restore more than 30 windmills. These groups include the local government, the Insular Council of Mallorca, and the Association of Friends of the Mills of Mallorca. The project accomplishments include restoring the façades and interior floors of the Molí d’en Garleta windmill, as well as reinforcing the interior and adding a concrete crown that will bear the weight of the machinery and the arms of the windmill. Visitor facilities were created to encourage tourism and greater appreciation of the windmills as a special feature of the cultural landscape.
