The environmental organization has been informed by letter, of the existence of two cattle tracks near the area where they carry out the imminent refurbishment of the RM-B17 road, a journey between the towns of Abarán and White the right bank of the River Segura.

In this regard, Ecologists in Action is addressed to the Highways Agency and the City of Abarán, requesting "that the project for upgrading the local road RM-B17, in the municipality of Abarán, integrated with the environment and with the public surface of two trails, which could be affected by remodeling.

Both applications were filed on 4 November 2009, but according to the environmental association, has not yet been any response. "

In those letters are reports that, 'if the project reaches the junction of roads Patrax, Darrax and Cuesta de Ricote, these works would affect two cattle trails called "Casting de la Cuesta de Ricote" and "Casting Damian Soto of "crossing the road, as stated in the Draft Classification of cattle trails of the Municipality of Abarán force."

Therefore, these cattle crossings are governed by the provisions of Law 3 / 1995 of 23 March, cattle trails, which regulates the legal status of these public roads, owned and powers attributed to the Autonomous Communities, in this case the General Directorate of Natural Heritage and Biodiversity of the Ministry of Agriculture and Water, so you have to act according to these rules to the extent that will affect this public area and cultural heritage, say environmentalists.

In this sense and to the successful integration of these paths with the causeway, in addition to the previous procedure required by law, Ecologists in Action proposes "to proceed to the marking of such cattle trails in the area where they overlap or MRI cross-B17, and to ensure the passage of cattle and walking or cycling at these points, so that these applications, referred to in the Act itself trails, consistent with the road. "

On the other hand and regarding the statement by the Directorate General of Highways in the news published in the media concerning the current in order to avoid detachment of material on the road, "was carried out refurbishment work which will involve an separation of 600 meters between a stretch of road that zone, "Ecologists in Action will be questions about how it will perform the separation," which is impossible in the area, as this would move the road layout half a mile, or what is, it came to the town of Abarán. "

The environmental organization believes that, 'or not explained well, or not knowing who is leading this work is such that it can lead to absurd situations like this. "

Finally, Ecologists in Action hopes that in this case not play such sad events as happened recently in the adaptation of the MU-521 in Ricote, where, according to the statement that has sent the environmental organization, "has been altered illegally watering batteries and has invaded the surface of a cattle track, with the Autonomous Community that has committed these acts, and therefore are not reported, nor punish itself by attacking the heritage natural and cultural Ricote Valley, "concludes the press release.
