- Retamares and habitats such as scrub halonitrófilos, "despite being classified by the EU Habitats Directive as Community interest, "and subesteparias areas with grasses and annuals," listed as a priority interest in conservation-
- The varied and valuable flora of the Cerro de La Cantueña, with 271 species, among which stand certain species by biogeographical value: 10 endemic Iberian, Ibero-Maghrebian 5 endemics and 7 species found in this mountain its western boundary in the Community of Madrid.
- The unexpected and rich fauna of this mountain, with its approximately 110 species of vertebrates, ie, 91 species of birds, over 12 species of mammals, 7 species of reptiles, and 167 species of invertebrates recorded so far, among which 2 endemic Iberian, Ibero-Maghreb 1 endemic, 25 species of butterflies, some very small and located at the regional level, and over 10 species of moths, among which a legally protected species due to their scarcity and because it is the largest butterfly in Europe.
words, do not just disappear the last refuge of the fauna and flora north of town, but also the rural landscapes, the natural essence of this hill, the legacy of centuries of farming and with it a the last olive, almond Parla, increasingly threatened by uncontrolled urban development, all in exchange for creating an unnecessary urban park that meets the interests of a few.
Why transform a natural space in a simple city park, where the only accurate measure would be the conservation their habitats and the recovery of the most degraded?.
Following the compilation of the Cerro de La Cantueña, and its immediate surroundings, such as "Cultural Property" in the category of "archaeological site" by the Community of Madrid, according to a resolution of 23 September 1994, Izquierda Unida has tabled an amendment to the original document of Agenda 21, to "ensure the preservation of the protected area of \u200b\u200bCerro de La Cantueña against possible aggression."
Apparently, this political party is concerned only that the transformation urban park of the hill does not affect any archaeological remains, scorning its irreplaceable ecological values \u200b\u200bwill be lost with the creation of the park, which projected in the company of the PSOE.
Thus, not only did not adopt any amendment to the original document of Agenda 21, to ensure the cessation of continued environmental assaults have this mountain and its environment, it degrades every day, but proposes another of the proposed amendments, ask the Community of Madrid the splitting of the M-408, Road connecting with Parla Pinto, and runs against the hill of the Cantueña, ie aims at increasing environmental pressure on this fragile natural area increasingly threatened.
The illegal dumps, located on the south summit of the hill and along the Cantueña Road Costerón-both near of commuter train trench, as in The top of the hill Cantueña or on the northern edge of town, along the tracks of the commuter train, "the persistent motocross circuit illegally installed more than a decade on the slopes of the hill or the current installation of a new power line, are obvious examples of the absolute lack of interest the municipal government to prevent the continuous degradation of the ecological values \u200b\u200bof this hill.
