A hopeful future for la playa de Pals

We take a deep breath of satisfaction because this year we are also collecting successes. We have planted, watered and protected several wishes, the seeds of all those who appreciate Platja de Pals.
 
That is why we want to celebrate with you the triumph of a few challenges that we have achieved this year 2022:

15 TO 1 VICTORY TO PROTECT RADIO LIBERTY

We make it possible for the Ministry of Ecological Transition, Pals City Council and the Generalitat de Catalunya to agree to coordinate definitively to promote a project at Ràdio Liberty, drawing up a plan for its future, a few months after we managed to catalog it as BCIL (Cultural Asset of Local Interest), thanks to the coordinated effort with various entities such as the Cercle Català d'Història. > Know more.

WE AVOID 1,392 NEW HOUSING

Fighting side by side with SOS Costa Brava, we achieved the declassification of 1,392 second-home homes in the Rodors pine forests of Playa de Pals, thanks to the mobilization against and the approval of the Master Plan for unsustainable land on the Gironi coast. > Know more.

THE ANTI-COMPETITION THAT PROTECTS NATURE

We created the Naturatló in the Ter Gorge, where our #ProtectorsDunars offer various sporting disciplines to raise awareness of microplastics and threatened species at Pals Beach. Find out more.

A DEEPER EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF THE NORTH ROAD IS DEMANDED

With the support of various organisations such as SOS Costa Brava and the Girona Naturalists' Association, we inform you that the City Council approved the modification of the Plan, subject to a simplified environmental assessment. Consequently, the Catalan Water Agency, the Park, the Biodiversity and Environment Section, and the Department have opposed it, due to the serious environmental impact of the road. Find out more.

INVASORS GO HOME

We enjoy great participation in organising invasive alien species removal days. These displace local flora and fauna. We also inform neighbours and communities about endemic species for gardening as an alternative that does not alter the environment. Find out more.

ALERT! BIODIVERSITY IS EXCHANGED FOR DEBRIS

After months of struggle, we have managed to stop the illegal dumping of 15,000 tonnes. These are burying part of the Estany del Vernegar, a floodplain of great natural interest for its flora and fauna. Find out more.

WE CONTINUE AT THE FOOT OF THE CANYON

But the dangers remain. Right now we're looking at:

New developments with new hotel complexes and housing in the pine trees on dunes at Rodors on Platja de Pals.

The construction of offshore wind farms along the Gulf of Roses and the Bay of Pals, with an impact on biodiversity.

We encourage you to continue supporting us to defend the area against the new dangers that are awakening on the horizon.
