This week, our colleagues Aitor Mingo and Maider Antín visited Alcoy, in Alicante, to participate in a meeting between the different companies involved in the AlcoiBioUP project. This ambitious project, funded under the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR), is supported by Fundación Biodiversidad. Its main objective is to connect the green areas of the municipality with the surrounding natural parks, as well as to revalue and renaturalise unused urban green spaces.
The project will be implemented through 13 lines of action, designed to recover and create new natural spaces, especially along the banks of rivers and ravines. This visit has allowed us to understand the important challenge we are facing, as the project plans to act on approximately 420,000 m² of green areas, including the Cint and Serpis ravines, as well as the Vaguada area and the Barranquet de Soler ravine.
The relevance of the project is not only reflected in its extension, but also in the diversity of the interventions and habitats on which action will be taken. Collaboration between the different entities will be the key, aligning the actions and their objectives with the renaturalisation strategy that will also be developed in the context of the project and that will serve as a guideline for future interventions.
Weather permitting, work will start before the end of 2024 and continue at least until December 2025.
