A formal complaint regarding the Bosque de Bahía Blanca in El Puerto de Santa María has been lodged with the Cádiz courts
The environmental organisation, Ecologistas en Acción, has lodged a formal complaint at the Cádiz provincial court against the destruction of one of the last forested areas on the coast of El Puerto de Santa María, known as the Bosque de Bahía Blanca.

The complaint is, according to information published in La Voz Digital, made against those who voted for and approved a licence for a development on the land, against the promoters themselves, and against the Junta de Andalucía’s environmental department for authorising the felling of the trees.

The organisation alleges that crimes against the environment and territorial planning may have taken place.

The rapeing and pillaging continues as the heads and those in high places in successive Governments,Councils,whoever
have permitted more and more construction in more and more prohibited areas in this once so beautiful country that is now little more than a concrete jungle like so many others and for what? For a few million euros in bribes here and there now they have deied their heirs a future.

I think that this organisation could truly allege that these people are committing "Crimes Against Humanity".
Are they not denying future generations a clean and proper environment in which to live and in which to bring up their own children? At the rate the human race is going it will implode before the middle of this millenium anyway and that's a fact!
