西班牙启动扩建艾格斯托特斯国家公园 提议新增2259公顷
西班牙部长会议11月3日批准了扩建艾格斯托特斯和圣毛里西湖国家公园的初步提议，启动这座位于加泰罗尼亚自治区莱里达省比利牛斯山区的国家公园的扩容程序。
提议将现行外围保护区中的2259.10公顷划入公园范围，涉及拉托雷-德卡普德拉和索尔特两市；同时新设3577.43公顷外围保护区，涉及拉托雷-德卡普德拉、维拉列尔、里亚尔普、埃斯波特和别利亚埃米哈兰等地。提议由西班牙生态转型和人口挑战部与加泰罗尼亚自治区政府共同提出。
按照西班牙国家公园法，扩建最终须经西班牙议会立法通过，程序还包括公众咨询和相关机构意见征求，因此提议目前尚未生效。
艾格斯托特斯国家公园以高山湖泊群和冰川地貌闻名，是西班牙最具代表性的高山生态系统保护地之一。生态转型部表示，扩建将把保护范围延伸至目前仅列为外围保护区的生态连续地带。
Spain Opens Process to Expand Aigüestortes National Park by a Proposed 2,259 Hectares
Spain's Council of Ministers approved on November 3 the initial proposal to expand the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, opening the enlargement process for the park in the Pyrenees of Lleida province, Catalonia.
The proposal would incorporate 2,259.10 hectares of the park's current peripheral protection zone into the park itself, in the municipalities of La Torre de Capdella and Sort, and would add 3,577.43 hectares of new peripheral protection zone in La Torre de Capdella, Vilaller, Rialp, Espot and Vielha e Mijaran. The proposal is made jointly by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Government of Catalonia.
Under Spain's national parks law, an expansion must ultimately be enacted by a law of the Cortes Generales, and the process includes public consultation and reports from the competent bodies, so the proposal is not yet in force.
Aigüestortes, famed for its high-mountain lakes and glacial landscapes, protects one of Spain's most emblematic alpine ecosystems. The ministry said the expansion would extend protection to ecologically connected areas currently classed only as peripheral protection zone.
