Spanish Biologist Opposes Large-Scale Renewable Projects in Andalusia

Biologist Paco Valera is working to protect endangered species in Spain's Tabernas desert region of Andalusia while opposing large-scale solar and wind energy developments. These renewable energy projects, intended to supply clean electricity to EU countries including Germany under the European Green Deal, are seen as threatening local wildlife such as the sandgrouse and almond crow. Valera's conservation efforts involve distributing nesting boxes throughout the Comarca Filabres-Alhamilla area in Almería province. He frequently challenges construction plans for these installations, arguing they harm both the environment and local communities.
