Mijas Town Hall announced this morning that two water troughs were installed to provide continuous water supply for the Sierra de Mijas fauna. This initiative is launched by the Environment Department in collaboration with Operational Services and has involved an investment of 12,000 euros. "These pools are also intended to be a breeding ground for amphibians given that the Iberian peninsula's amphibians are protected, as we all know. Some are in a more vulnerable situation than others, and having points like this to help them reproduce is essential to conserve this biodiversity richness", explained the Environment Councillor, Arancha López (Cs).

Next Sunday, May 22nd, is World Biodiversity Day, and the Mijas municipality, which has environmental wealth, wanted to take another step towards the fauna's conservation. López also requested: "We ask all citizens to realise that these pools are not for their pets as they are for the fauna in the Mijas Sierra. When they come walking with them, they should not go near them or let them drink water as that is not their purpose. We ask all residents of Mijas and all citizens who come for a walk to show responsible behaviour". Two new water supply points connected to a tank placed near the Los Arenales quarry, joining those already in the Barrio quarry.

 

The Operational Services Department has undertaken the installation. In the councillor's words, José Carlos Martín (Cs), "these new pools are connected to two 5,600 litre tanks. Their main function is to supply water to small troughs connected through a small pipe installation". To conclude, Martín affirmed that "it is a small action that serves to guarantee the environmental richness of the Sierra, especially now that the summer season is coming, and the temperatures are rising
