"Finally, after many years of serious degradation of natural habitats and progressive erosion , the Municipality of Cagliari has placed signs prohibiting mountain bikes on the Sella del Diavolo , a protected site with landscape and hydrogeological restrictions and included in the Natura 2000 Network." This is the announcement from the environmentalists of the Legal Intervention Group , who express great satisfaction with the initiative carried out by the local administration.
"In recent years, in fact," the Grig further explains in a statement, "the cutting of vegetation to open new mountain bike trails has continued, resulting in serious soil erosion and erosion of natural habitats that were only protected on paper."
Hence, thanks to those "who have worked tirelessly to achieve this small-but-big environmental protection goal , most recently the administrators and public officials of the Cagliari City Council's Environment and Roads Departments, and previously the Forestry and Environmental Protection Corps and the Regional Council, who implemented the most recent hydrogeological protection regulations."
The association recalls that "for years it has been conducting a systematic campaign for the protection and correct public use of the Devil's Saddle , the progressive degradation of which was already clearly evident from an in-depth assessment in March 2023."
