I have watched the systematic destruction of old eucalyptus trees at the edge of the Artola sands. This is a violation of its protected status. The trees were at least 70 years old and were the habitat for many varied birds who use it as a stop-off on their migration route across to Africa. This is an act of vandalism and someone within the Marbella town hall holds responsibility for allowing this to go ahead. It requires further investigation as to whether there is some vested interest in allowing a house to be built on this piece of land.
