Ecology damage in PdC, acording to Green Party

THE BEACH ECOSYSTEM OF THE CARMEN IS IN DANGER, QUINTANA I NIBBLE: PVEM

(sorry, I used an automated translation software, will try to fix the results tonight)

Mexico, 24 Sep (Notimex). - The senator of the Ecological Green Party of Mexico (PVEM), Verónica Velasco Rodriguez, denounced that diverse species of flora and fauna considered in extinction danger, are threatened due to the construction of a pier of Playa the Carmen, Quintana Roo.

In an official notice, also the president of the Environment Commission of the Senate of the Republic indicated that the company and operator Servicios Náuticos try to use the pier for openwork medium boats.

It affirmed that denunciations exist of which the permission for that work was granted through influence peddling and exposed that this project always represented a serious threat for the different species from marine turtles by the destruction and deterioration of its habitat.

It remembered that the territorial ordering prohibits works in the zones of coastal dunes and coralline communities, and although the zone by itself has an ecological importance being one of the more important tourist destinations of the country, the ecological unit where it is tried to construct the project is it still more.

It, indicated, due to the type and characteristics of the flora and fauna, migratory as as much native, that they exist in the zone.

After touring the zone in company of representatives of small hotelkeepers, ecological comuneros (community farmers), restaurant groups and the legislating premises, Velasco Rodriguez questioned the quality of the construction of the pier, since with the passage of the hurricane "Iván" several landslides were registered. "Is not possible that the pier underwent such consequences if one assumes that is a new construction" which has an advance of 90 percents.

Also, it aimed, "there are evidences they incurred in serious irregularities to the present environmental legislation and to the territorial ordering". The "green" legislator said that it is necessary to order the suspension of the project while an investigation, according to law, of the facts and circumstances in that the permissions were granted.

PELIGRA EL ECOSISTEMA DE PLAYA DEL CARMEN, QUINTANA ROO: PVEM


México, 24 Sep (Notimex).- La senadora del Partido Verde Ecologista de México (PVEM), Verónica Velasco Rodríguez, denunció que diversas especies de flora y fauna consideradas en peligro de extinción se ven amenazadas, debido a la construcción de un muelle en playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo.

En un comunicado, la también presidenta de la Comisión de Medio Ambiente del Senado de la República señaló que la empresa y operadora Servicios Náuticos pretende emplear el muelle para embarcaciones de mediano calado.

Afirmó que existen denuncias de que el permiso para esa obra se otorgó a través del tráfico de influencias y expuso que este proyecto siempre representó una seria amenaza para las diferentes especies de tortugas marinas por la destrucción y deterioro de su hábitat.

Recordó que el ordenamiento territorial prohíbe las obras en las zonas de dunas costeras y comunidades coralinas, y aunque la zona por si misma reviste una importancia ecológica por ser uno de los destinos turísticos más importantes del país, la unidad ecológica donde se pretende construir el proyecto lo es aún más.

Ello, indicó, debido al tipo y características de la flora y fauna, tanto migratoria como nativa, que existen en la zona.

Luego de un recorrido por la zona en compañía de representantes de pequeños hoteleros, comuneros, restauranteros, grupos ecologistas y legisladores locales, Velasco Rodríguez cuestionó la calidad de la construcción del muelle, ya que con el paso del huracán "Iván" se registraron varios derrumbes.

"No es posible que el muelle sufriera tales consecuencias si se supone que es una construcción nueva", la cual tiene un avance de 90 por ciento.

Asimismo, apuntó, "existen evidencias de que se incurrió en serias irregularidades a la legislación ambiental vigente y al ordenamiento territorial".

La legisladora pevemista aseveró que resulta necesario ordenar la suspensión del proyecto en tanto se hace una investigación conforme a derecho de los hechos y circunstancias en que se otorgaron los permisos.

Immediately after the East German Government had its going out of business sale, the West German Communist party recommended to its members that they vote for the Green Party candidates as they best represented to views of the communist party. While useful for somethings, I am pissed at the Greens for smoking the cronic and not sharing with the rest of us.
