Ecologists in Action presents arguments in relation to the proposed Land Management Guidelines.

First, he referred to the listed species on the endangered list because, according to the CER "This guideline does not sufficiently protect those spaces that match the habitat of species listed by the very Government of La Rioja" in danger of extinction "This has to be reviewed.

Including the species known as monk fish, which remains without a recovery plan, which violates the rules of the catalog itself.

Regarding the problems affecting the listed species at risk of extinction, in the paragraph on the Sison, must appear as major problem for the conservation of this species, the destruction of steppe ecosystems and the irrigation of lands traditionally occupied by dryland crops.

With regard to wet areas, they emphasize that "in this section must be inclusive of all areas covered within the National Inventory of Wetlands of Spain."

In relation to areas of unique vegetation of the Ebro, the group indicated that "in this section should include all the banks of the river Ebro, as in the case of Soto Galo and Sabuquera in the Municipal District of Logrono, and Soto Railroad.

Speaking on the banks of ecological interest request "the inclusion of the rivers Fra, Ea, Eye and Zamaca in this category given its current role and / or future as ecological corridors in the agricultural area of Valle del Ebro"

Vegetation in the areas of Singular state that "should be included in the category of Single Vegetation protection of all native forests present in the Ebro Valley." With traditional orchards believe that "should reflect the prohibition to build agricultural fields with an area exceeding 20 square meters, given the current situation of many agricultural soils of high interest for homes and houses destroyed, building licenses for boxes."

The allegations also have made references to the agricultural landscape for environmentalists because it is "inexplicable from common sense, that one of the most endangered ecosystems of La Rioja, steppe areas, has no independent space labeled as such" .

Finally, the CER calls "the creation of a new category of catalog under the name of steppe Interest Areas for birds. With three spaces: upland steppes and Murillo de Rio Leza, and dry steppes of La Maja, steppe and dryland of Rigueelo-Alfaro.

With regard to the EWC legislation calls for "the prohibition of installing solar energy parks in all natural areas attached to the Natura 2000 network."

Although Ecologists in Action from La Rioja "bet on renewable energies in developing the guidelines and because of the necessary protection and land Sectoral plans should include planning for the installation of park hydropower, wind power and solar. "

"We do not want to miss the opportunity to request that in future will not happen again as with the PEPM, which was changed and violated on numerous occasions. We also emphasize the importance of greater vigilance and control over this new plan."
