En el año 2007 by Decree 43/2007 of 13 April nacia Consell del Turia Natural Park. Supposed a respite from the serious threats to urban development was submitted in that period, plus all kinds of attacks such as littering, filth, threats of fire and he finally seemed to have the expiration date.
Nothing is further from reality, the declaration of the Park has led to the invasion of quiet space far from shore. It has opened a huge gap in the road as cement for use and enjoyment of citizens.
The incessant movement of bicycles, people screaming, horses that trace different tour routes the same way and as I found it 20 days until quads have become part of this space in a challenge to that part of the wildlife that uses the Turia river habitat.
is therefore not surprising to hear now the laughter of the green woodpecker (Picus viridis) in the areas surrounding the park or run into a wild boar in the fields of carob and pine forest near Aguas de Valencia urbanization Dam. And is that part of the fauna and especially those species most sensitive to human activity has left the bank for environmental restoration work. Hopefully, unless conditions are to return shortly.
But undoubtedly one of the most worrisome threat lies in logging utilities that start at this time of year (curiously bird breeding season). I refer to
Turia PORN Chapter II-section 2nd. Art.50 pto2. " interventions on forests be made between the months of August to February inclusive to avoid disturbing the bird communities . Exceptionally these dates may be changed by the Ministry competent for the environment if there are justifiable reasons and affection is found the species not considered particularly sensitive . "
These talas are the peculiar fire plan for summer 2009 with who gave us the power and consist of nothing more nor less than to clean up the mass of trees located under power lines.
If we think that much of the forest area is structured by power lines and that the extent of this forest of Vallesa is quite small which may be can imagine the impact.

The explanation given is very simple, "to reduce the risk of forest fires, and is a declaration of intentions (I think they will not cut down the pines and then remove the lines as originally intended .)
power lines through the forest. Valencia La Vella.
Paradoxically has been following the declaration of the Park that theoretically protects the forest of Vallesa when utilities have initiated such logging in it (just have to look at many of the pines are felling are adults, then passed by there in years and worried).
pressures diverted or received for these lines buried by the danger posed to the integrity of the Park and the fear of losing that status has made them invasive tilt in a hurry in other option certainly much faster, cheaper but extremely aggressive as logging invoking a decree of 1968.
These tasks include naturally with the opposition of neighborhood associations, environmental groups, the Coalition for the Defense of the forests of Turia and the City of Paterson, which requires municipal utilities authority.
hope that sanity prevails in the end and to reach a solution that satisfies everyone but above all be respectful and allow us to continue to enjoy in its entirety of one of the most amazing and beautiful places to be found only a little bit of home.
