Without delay.
A highly controversial logging will take place in a natural park in Sintra, Portugal.
I translate the full campaign, for you can properly decide whether or not to support this petition:
“Against the massacre of thousands of trees in the Lagoa Azul, Sintra
To: Dear Minister of Environment
The ICNF, the structure that must work for the defense of the forest, has an “intervention” in the Perimeter Forests of the Serra de Sintra and Penha Longa and, more specifically, the surrounding public roads (EN9-1 section between the Lagoa Azul and Malveira da Sierra, Forest Road Malveira-Portela and access to the dam of the river Mula) said to aim to “improve the safety of people and goods and ensure the good development of indigenous species in the undergrowth, which are The base of the characteristic groves of the area. “
With this objective, a judicial order was made to mark individuals, focusing on arboreal specimens at the end of life, and especially specimens of species such as pines, cypresses and acacias, aimed at eliminating these specimens.
Question: If they were sick, who stopped treating them? Killing those who let themselves die is an excuse that does not justify anything.
Is it that, with each tree felled, will be followed by a new planting of trees? It is not only the phytosanitary situation that must be taken into account, but also the right to the image, which gives shape to the landscape, and had to do with the classification of Sintra as a cultural landscape. As in many situations, usually little exemplary, rarely has a slaughter been followed by the replacement of vegetation, in that environmental crimes are characterized, and are now on the way to another arboricide under the pretext of the defense of the hikers and security.
The Alagamares Cultural Association of Sintra, www.algamares.com, along with many attentive citizens, strongly opposes this announced felling, especially for the dimension that will take, and will do everything it can to avoid it. The trees marked for death have an orange mark and it is on orange alert that the defenders of the forests and “our” mountain must remain, as this does not belong to the technocrats or to the loggers, but to the one who loves it , lives and breathes, and those who do not wish to see her cut off for many decades.
Your Excellency, and the one supervised by the ICNF, is asked to take as of now all possible measures to stop this harmful action of the natural heritage of Sintra.”
