The Collective The Espartal-Valdemoro Ecologists in Action, the Association of Local Native Fauna and Flora Torrejón de Velasco (ALFFA) and ARBA-Madrid-Sur, publicly denounced the terrible damage that the works of Train A lta 
Madrid-Levante Madrid-Cuenca, are currently causing the Important Bird Area of \u200b\u200bDryland Torrejón de Velasco-Valdemoro, (IBA N/02), the English Ornithological Society (SEO), recently cataloged for harboring endangered steppe birds as emblematic Bustard (Otis tarda), the Sison (Tetrax tetrax) the Curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus) the Montagu's harrier (Circus pygargus) , Ce rnícalo kestrel (Falco naumanni) , etc. and birds dam of great ecological value, such as Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) , Bonelli's Eagle-hawk (Aquila fasciatus) the toed (Circaetus gallicus), Griffon Vulture (Gyps fulvus), black vulture ( Aegypius monachus), etc. The construction work on the railway have changed completely the face of this area south of the region, and the resulting geological, ecological and landscape irreversible.
thus opening a huge trench to facilitate the passage of the AVE, dismantling limestone hills located literally in its path, has eliminated the valuable and varied vegetation calcicolous present, not missing the unique plants of the Iberian peninsula, instead of burying their incomprehensibly growing Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) planted on the surrounding hillsides.
The threatened steppe birds and the rest of the local fauna have been altered his quiet, even during playback, with the works, having created an unreasonable barrier effects to wildlife, passing through its territory AVE. The aesthetic quality of these hills, has been severely damaged, having lost its continuity. Nearby areas the path, also strongly affected. In order to facilitate the passage of heavy machinery, do not hesitate to open new and wider roads, used without hesitation even a significant track livestock as the Cañada Real Galiana.

Wadding The immediate banks of the creek to the path, have been buried under tons of earth, thus wiping out native flora and fauna existing there. Essential wetland hydrological dynamics of the stream, as it was in the bottom of the M-404, in the town of Torrejón de Velasco, also have been buried unceremoniously.
If we consider that the option chosen by the Ministry led by Magdalena Alvarez, is the most damaging to the Environment (we could have split the existing Madrid-Seville line some kilometers away, protecting this area) and background that the national construction of high-speed train , for example, drainage and destruction of aquifers Abdalajís Valley (Malaga), we are without doubt a ministry and therefore a government that puts the interests of large construction companies, to the natural values \u200b\u200bof the land affected by works, why you should watch.
understand that projects as harmful as the AVE, can not be of interest general, not having been consulted the public, and therefore should not be beyond the control of citizens in demanding a rigorous and objective study of environmental impact and its proper implementation.

Therefore, organizations that endorse this statement, are intended to monitor hereinafter the implementation of such works, to require municipalities of Torrejón de Velasco and Valdemoro surveillance and compliance with current legislation, also requiring Ministry of Development to develop a restoration plan which minimizes the possible damage in the area, which we consider extremely serious.
