The director general of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity, Pablo Fernandez, with the mayor of Alhama de Murcia, Juan Romero Canovas and Water Commissioner of the Hydrographic Confederation of Segura, Manuel Aldeguer, opens tomorrow at 10 am on the first step Badger fauna that is signaled in the region.
Will be in the Rambla Celada its junction with the N-340.
El Paso Animals we see tomorrow is rooted in the Badger Project, an environmental volunteer initiative developed by the Group Scout Valle de Leyva, Alhama de Murcia, in collaboration with Meles, association for the study and conservation of nature, Espuña Regional Park and the town of Alhama de Murcia, which is part of Local Agenda 21.
The project's objective was to develop a public awareness towards the conservation of one of the most endangered mammal species in our region, the Badger (Meles meles).
Some of the best colonies of this species are found in areas of high traffic volume, as is the case near Rambla Celada.
The reports of the Regional Park of Sierra Espuña about the numerous cases of abuse of badgers in the vicinity of the ravine, caused by the continuous flow of species from the area on either side of national highway N340, recommend preventive measures that reduce number of accidents, especially since this place is also configured as an important step of foxes, hedgehogs, cats, pigs, rodents, reptiles.
These measures include the adaptation of wildlife crossings.
For Celada Rambla has involved:
.
Road signs: reduction of speed in this area, the maximum allowed of 90 km / h.
50 km / h., marked with the appropriate signage, installation of rumble strips to moderate traffic speed in that section.
.
Maintaining cleanliness of the avenue to facilitate the transit of animals.
.
Installing a poster of "Passing fauna."
Indicates that we are in a very special area for vertebrate fauna and is used as a passage for many animals, including badgers.
Warns that some species have suffered abuses by being forced to cross the road, so it is important to keep the area in good condition so that these species may continue to use that as a transit zone.
