"The council uses it as a whitewash and does not change one iota urban and environmental policy in the municipality"
Ecologists in Action believes and Martinez-Cache Chamber should take the rejection of his proposed policies really redirect the session and submit a new application, this time useful and credible
Ecologists in Action disputes the reading that the city of Murcia on the technical report of the application, since for the nomination to be credible and serve something, not only need to approve Management Plans for protected areas but council policies in urban and environment must take a radical turn towards sustainability, which is what I really intended to get the shape of a Biosphere Reserve.
As an example, the environmental organization reminds the session that have not yet been revised General Plan and Partial Plans that have used the "teleport" from illegal buildable land "Not Building with specific protection" to increase the buildable erratically in urbanized areas and that precisely affect the protected space environment covering "The Owl Country."
In fact, the council, while promoting his candidacy Biosphere Reserve, convened a meeting with opposition groups to convince them that teleportation is legal, despite the Supreme Court ruling of Murcia says everything otherwise.
Also there is the paradox that many of the areas where Partial Plans have been approved in the last decade, many with this buildable gouging are precisely raptor foraging areas, where they feed, including the Eagle Owl which is used as a central icon of the application of a Biosphere Reserve.
Something for the environmental organization is somewhat schizophrenic.
On the other hand, the city is allowing shocking performances, and sometimes even irregular in entrono the protected space.
Among these is the paving of roads within the SPA, be very illuminating the last case reported by environmentalists these days:
The paving of a road in the hamlet of La Murta, which started without the necessary licenses in an SPA and partially invading a Milky Livestock.
The enlightening part is that this path gives access to a home owned by a known political position with which environmentalists clashed since a few years to realize it works using improper licenses, such as making a tennis court justifying that was an esplanade to dry almonds ...
Environmentalists point out that in the space defined by this Biosphere Reserve are hundreds of houses and illegal work, which every so often are legalized and whose construction is being watched and prevented from the consistory.
There are also illegal dumps whose situation is not resolved, impressive transport infrastructure such as the expansion of Murcia-Cartagena motorway without environmental impact assessment, or the new highway to San Javier in the already detected several violations of Owl among other threatened species.
This disastrous policy of the City, which allows default or even collaboration, is fundamentally incompatible with the biosphere reserve really is meaningful and useful for which approval is sought.
If Miguel Angel House and Adela Martinez-Cache citizenship claim that creates this biosphere reserve and even support, must first demonstrate that the City change the course of their urban and environmental policy in recent decades with concrete actions:
1.-Public recognition of teleportation as illegal method of getting buildable land at the expense of specific protection Not Building.
And additionally, gridlock and immediate review of all affected partial plans and General Plan itself.
2.-Real Pursuit of illegal construction of houses with demolition and restitution obligation to the original state.
Three. - Public Commitment waiver of future amnesties call new urbanism illegal in the city.
April. - Stop unpaved rural roads in the vicinity of the Regional Park and SPA, and in any case study of the need for improvement of the road, performing as necessary arrangements thereof with respect and less shocking methods, discarding the asphalt.
May. - Better and more control of illegal dumping in the environment Regional Park and SPA.
June. - Final approval of Management Plans for protected areas.
Which, though not direct competition of the City, this itself can accelerate approval pressuring the region.
Until then, not only the candidacy of Biosphere Reserve will be amazing, but above all, your presentation will be a waste of time and public money, and nothing will improve the environmental situation of the municipality, and is also an element of mere marketing, a simple label of a supposed good environmental management of the municipality, which actually does not exist.
