The regional government has purchased three rustic properties in the municipalities of Abanilla, Alhama de Murcia and Fortuna, to a value of around 80,000 euros, 80 per cent of which has been co-financed by the European ERDF fund.
The three fincas are located in spaces containing protected natural resources, specifically wetlands and salt marshes and general director of Natural Environment, Fulgencio Perona, explained that with this new step "the network of wetlands and salt marshes owned by the regional government has been expanded, fulfilling the objective of the regional government of guaranteeing the protection and conservation of these protected natural spaces and their biodiversity".
In this way, and by becoming public property, "the Ministry will be able to carry out management actions aimed at restoring habitats of community interest and protected species of flora and fauna, as well as maintaining the set of ecosystem values and services that these sustain or generate, thus contributing to fulfill the commitments of declaration and protection of areas of community interest of the directives of habitats and birds ”, explained Perona.
The largest of the acquired spaces is a farm in the area of 'El Sanel', of 39,206 square meters of surface, located within the Protected Natural Area (ENP), Site of Community Interest (SCI) and Special Protection Area for Birds (ZEPA) of the 'Wetland of Ajauque and Rambla Salada', in the municipality of Abanilla, acquired for 30,590 euros.
