Valley Of The ASPE
Since the court case in Pau on 2nd December 1992 declaring the road works illegal, an Environmental Impact Assessment has been carried out. This states that "the improvements to the road and the building of the tunnel do not constitute in any way the key to the survival of the bears"! Work is due to restart on the road in June.
Ecotopia (1st to 21st August) will be in an adjacent valley and actions are planned from there in the Valley of the Aspe. For information on Ecotopia, contact Bureau Ecotopia, Maleychard d’en Bas, 09350 Castex, France tel: 01033-61 69 85 53.
