this councilor calls for "action to save the repopulation" |
Some time ago some reforestation work performed in the public forest of La Atalaya, particularly in the environment shortcuts zigzag path.
As recounted Illueca, "it is an activity of environmental recovery that has been requested by the City of Cieza, we understand by the Department of Environment and funded by the Autonomous Community and carried out by the Directorate General for the Environment environment, but we do not know what company has been awarded the contract or, otherwise, by what means have been developed reforestation work. "
In any case, "afforestation in the area is necessary and, moreover, the work put into effect have been well made, so, so far, it would be an initiative worthy of praise and that clearly connects with the type of environmental policies since our formation we have been demanding. "
However, for some time elapsed from restocking, "the aspect that it provides and which can be checked by any visitor to the area can not be more desolate."
In the words of this council, "a good part of the plants placed in the bush are drying by obvious lack of water, the guards appear overturned and rolled down the hill, and it is feared, apparently seen, that reforestation is a failure , which would mean not only an environmental disaster but also an obvious waste of public money, again, he will have been thrown away. "
In this case, "it is clear that neither the contract nor the reforestation project have seen the maintenance of reforestation, which is very difficult to understand, since the tasks of repopulation always see four essential aspects: land preparation , The actual planting, tree protection against herbivores and maintainers essential tasks, such as irrigation, binas, weeding, hilled, etc. ".
One possible explanation, "which sounded unofficially" according Illueca, would be, "because it is native vegetation, it is understood that once planted should survive on their own, which would make maintenance unnecessary track or restocking; but anyone with some knowledge, even elementary, in the art knows that this is not so, and therefore very difficult to understand and not from absolute incapacity, apathy or disinterest on the part of the authorities responsible. "
Therefore, Illueca formulate a question in the next regular plenary session of May, in which he asked for information, "among other things, on the exact date that took effect the work and the contractor, the participation of the City of Cieza in the project and possible explanatory reasons for the lack of monitoring and maintenance of reforestation carried out, and the reporting and evaluation are available on the current status of it you will also be asked. "
Furthermore, in relation to all these questions, "also we will require the local administration, in the exercise of its powers over the management of public and environmental mountain, take concrete measures to save reforestation and avoid the painful feeling of neglect and waste they now feel all citizens who walk through the area.
