"

Remember from Win Totana.

Sierra Espuña is for the municipality of Totana a unique enclave of nature that must be conserved and respected as our most precious ecological and environmental jewel.

With more than 17,800 hectares, it is a real lung not only for our municipality but also for the entire Region of Murcia.

Declared in 1931 as a Natural Site of National Interest, it was declared in 1979 Natural Park and in 1992 Regional Park.

"We agree that a participation process be initiated in order to know the point of view of the largest number of social agents in the territory, although we believe that this decision should be subject to the general, environmental and ecological interest of our environment and not to the one of particular interests, being able to condition negatively that Sierra Espuña reaches the rank of National Park. "

They affirm.

Therefore, we are going to propose the following to your vote in plenary session;

to urge the General Directorate of Environment of the CCAA to initiate a process of participation of the six municipalities of the Territory of Sierra Espuña (Totana, Alhama, Pliego, Mula, Librilla and Aledo) and their social and economic agents to request the inclusion of Sierra Espuña in the National Parks network in accordance with the provisions of section 2 of article 8 of law 30/2014, which establishes that it is the competent body.
