Eviction in Ostional Under The Care Of Environmental Authorities

(El Financiero) The Ministry of the Environment (Minaet) and the National System for Wildlife Areas (Sinac) will be the ones to determine whom will be evicted from the nesting areas of the Lora turtles on Ostional beach, in Guanacaste.

This was stated by the Constitutional Court by indicating that it will only be the environmental authorities the responsible ones to evict only physical persons or companies that could be affecting the massive nesting of the Lora turtles, in the Ostional Wildlife National Refuge.

The order for eviction corresponded to a previous sentence, dictated at the beginning of this year, nevertheless, it was left to clarify and add which entity needed to execute it.

After the first ruling, the very ministry of this field, Jorge Rodriguez Quiros, presented a request to postpone this period for six months that was awarded initially to perform the eviction of the occupied territories so it could be concluded by the end of January of next year.

Also, the constitutional judges emphasized that if this process was to be applied during the definition process of the eviction, any arbitrary or subjective criteria that provoked any injury to the natural resources or ecosystems protected by this refuge, will be under the responsibility of the Minaet and the Regional Direction for the Areas for Conservation of Tempisque.
