Leaving a difficult year working with the International Year of Biodiversity Diversity, the English Presidency in the first half, with the need for further international goals of biodiversity policies and the year that ends within the CCAA to approve the management plans of Natura 2000 and the Breads Recovery of species in danger of extinction and we head into the 2011 International Year of Forests.
After a year like 2010, then 2011 might seem a transition year, but the truth is that we will give no respite. Here are some of the things that lie ahead:
Natura Heritage Act and Biodiversity
I have spent the time to approve the Strategic Plan (the MARM just submitted a draft, look at my review here, http: / / plumayconservacion.blogspot.com/2010/12/plan-estrategico-del-patrimonio-natural.html) to regional governments approve their management plans of Natura 2000 and the recovery of those breads Endangered species Species and still do not have anything. So we will undertake a campaign of pressure on the government and even legal action to obtain approval of these important documents.
addition, many other aspects of the Law that have been developed such as the approval of the English Catalogue of Endangered Species, the English Catalogue of Invasive Alien Species and the English Catalogue of Endangered Habitats. For his part, either out MARM National Strategies for many endangered species.
Heritage Act and Biodiversity Natura is a good law, but seems to be little will to develop it.
IBA and SPA
The most important thing is to This year's designated marine SPAs, which will work to devote enough effort. In addition, we have new IBA after the review, especially for ricotí lark, vultures, kites .... You have to see how we can get better protection for these places. For example, 70% of the population of ricotí lark is out of SPA.
also take advantage of 2011 to make an initial list of areas of national importance to birds (IBAs are internationally important areas). We believe that ultimately, this listing will bring great benefit to the conservation of our birds.
PAC and PPC
This year is very important to define the new Common Agricultural Policy and Common Fisheries Policy SEO / BirdLife should be on top of these negotiations because its outcome depends the future of many of our birds.
Basin Plans
This year is key to approval of river basin plans. The draft plans are out already and there are 6 months to make claims and seek to influence to ensure that by 2015 all our water-dependent SPAs are in good condition. Daunting task which will be devoted great effort. Projects
horribilis
We still on the table crowd hideous project for the conservation of birds. Some of them: the highway Toledo-Ciudad Real, Badajoz Cáceres-highway, the resort of San Glorio (León and Palencia), open pit mine magnesite at Iba Iratí Forest (Navarra), wind farms in the Sierra de Gata (Salamanca), wind farms in Cuenca, etc.
And we fear that will come in 2011.
And all this we must continue with daily work in environmental impact assessment, various reports, advice, etc. And the ongoing projects LIFE poison, taking flight, wings on Water, etc.
For that, happy 2011 to all and much mood as this year is interesting.
