HST PROBLEM IN BISCAY
It is a well known fact that HST, high speed train, is a common problem in The Basque Country. It is the railway project that pretends to join together different capitals. In addition, this public transport is one of the faster trains that no one have ever invented, this is to say, the train arrives until 250 km/h.
It cross the south zone of Durango, one of the landscapes more relevant ecologically, and from the north limit of Urkiola Natural Park. In that area there are many endangered species, such as, the european mink and sand martin.
The implantation of this transport demand the construction of expensive infrastructures that involves deep environmental impacts and social problems like destroying a lot of forests. It’s a very big problem also, because the habitat and the biodiversity of the area is affected too and all the animals that used to live there have had to go away or maybe they have disappeared. Another important fact caused by the creation of the train on the environment is the visual and noise pollution, this means, that this problem may harm the activity or balance of human or animal life. As well as the movement of the lands, that can destroy a lot of trees.
Besides, HST is affecting directly to the %17 townships of The Basque Country. This public transport has 4 stops during his way, in Bilbao, Donosti, Iruña and another one in Gasteiz. So it consumes six times more than an usual train, for this reason it brings more pollution to our atmosphere.
How could we reduce the destruction caused by this train in order to achieve the biodiversity that we used to have in this area?
Give your ideas!!!!
