This past summer the Service of Management of Natural Spaces of the Generalitat Valenciana issued a favourable report for the construction of almost 7,500 homes in the vicinity of the La Mata and Torrevieja lagoons. According to the Association of Friends of the Wetlands of the South of Alicante (AHSA), autonomous Administration, with this administrative act, consummates a shameful process of speculation protected by an environmental legislation, giving free access to a mega-urban project that worsens the environment even more and the hydrological basin of both lagoons and that will have a negative impact on the environmental values ​​of these natural spaces.



Last April the Association of Friends of the Wetlands of the South of Alicante (AHSA) went to the Territorial Management of Alicante of the Ministry of Environment requesting information on the number and species of aquatic birds authorized to be killed in the preserves of hunting of the Natural Park of the Hondo, during the season 2017-18, as well as the censuses in which they have been based for their elaboration. In addition to the number and result of the inspections carried out by the environmental agents, in the hunting grounds of this natural area, for the control of the runs in the 2017-18 season, in compliance with the provisions of the Master Plan for Use and Management (PRUG).

This article also included a photograph of all the 'bodies' laid out in rows. Throphy rows no doubt and it just sickens me. This is just shooting for fun and has very little, if anything, to do with providing food for the table.


Such wonderful people boasting of their tally in a photo and so proud. It is a pity that their faces are obscured on the photo.
