Statute overview

About this statute

El Departamento de Agricultura, Ganadería y Pesca debe delimitar determinadas superficies forestales en Cataluña y tomar medidas para mantener la presencia de especies forestales de área reducida; el Consejo Ejecutivo debe desarrollar por reglamento la legislación forestal en ciertos aspectos de conservación y recuperación. Defines wetlands and requires protective rules, protection strips, and urban planning safeguards near coastal public land. Projects for permanent roads and high-voltage power lines in natural areas or high mountain areas must justify landscape protection and include restoration, soil-conditioning, or erosion-prevention measures. Plans and projects for the electricity transmission network must choose the viable option with the lowest visual and ecological impact, and they must describe measures to control erosion, prevent forest fire risk, and, where possible, provide vegetation treatments for passage through natural areas. Las actividades extractivas en ciertos espacios naturales se regulan por la Ley de Cataluña 12/1981 y normas complementarias; en otros espacios, si necesitan nueva autorización, se aplica la misma regulación pero con las fianzas al 50%.
