Among the actions visited, the one being carried out in the Pineda Valley (Fuentes Carrionas-Fuente Cobre-Monta\u00f1a Palentina Natural Park) stands out, thanks to which the impact caused by the transit of vehicles through the Carri\u00f3n riverbed will be eliminated, enabling a single road. <\/p>\n<p>Other actions visited have been <strong>riverbank restorations <\/strong>to avoid erosive processes, installation of gauges that regulate the flow of water intakes and guarantee the maintenance of the necessary water conditions for the species and the elimination of a weir that is an insurmountable barrier to their movements. All these actions will be carried out in the Picos de Europa Regional Park (Le\u00f3n). <\/p>\n<p>The Iberian desman (Galemys pyrenaicus) is a small aquatic mammal that inhabits the vicinity of rivers, streams and lakes in mountainous areas and is distributed from the French side of the Pyrenees to Portugal, although it is in Spain where most of its population is found. The number of specimens in the Central System has suffered a serious setback in recent years: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lifedesman.es\/es\/desman-iberico\/la-especie\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>the desman is considered in danger of extinction within the Spanish Catalogue of Threatened Species<\/strong><\/a>. The decrease in the quality and quantity of river water, the degradation of the riparian forests that serve as a refuge, and the presence of the American mink, an introduced species with a great capacity for expansion and adaptation to the environment, are its main threats.  <\/p>\n<p>The project, <strong>50% co-financed by the European Commission<\/strong>, is being developed in Natura 2000 Network areas in the provinces of Le\u00f3n, Zamora, Salamanca, \u00c1vila, Palencia and C\u00e1ceres. It is coordinated by the Biodiversity Foundation and has among its partners the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and the Environment, the Regional Government of Castilla y Le\u00f3n, the Regional Government of Extremadura, the Cesefor Foundation, the Natural Heritage Foundation of Castilla y Le\u00f3n, SOMACYL and Tragsatec. In addition, the City Council of Valencia de Don Juan and the Association of Municipalities of the South of Le\u00f3n participate as co-financing entities. The project also has the support of the Mi\u00f1o-Sil, Tagus and Duero Hydrographic Confederations, research centres and fishermen&#8217;s associations.   <br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":35722,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"palabras_clave":[],"class_list":["post-97858157","actualidad_home","type-actualidad_home","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
