Dont forget the European Bears!

A proposal to construct a ski resort in the Picos De Europa Northern Spain is currently being stalled by environmental reports and conservation groups.

Apart from the destruction of these fantastic mountains with all the building, piste-making, huge car parks, etc. and the contamination of soil and rivers with artificial snow- making, the project would probably result in the loss of the Iberian brown bear in this area.

The proposed development would remove a very important corridor between two surviving population pockets and disturbance associated with the development would undoubtedly lead to them abandoning the area. The Iberian Brown Bear, a subspecies of the Brown Bear, is a much shier and more secretive animal than its American cousins!

The majority of the local human population are under the impression that the project will bring hordes of piste skiers to their region whereas the reality is that these mountains are relatively low compared to the Pyrenees and the Alps, with uncertain snow conditions and high winds.
