Missing studies about the Gasoducto Impact

This article is reproduced by CienciaPR with permission from the original source.

By:Gerardo E. Alvarado León / El Nuevo dia El Nuevo Día The AEE have announced that the US Fish and wildlife service (USFWS) finalized the formal evaluation for the “Gasoducto” pipeline. However, there have not been studies that investigate in depth the danger to the species that live in along the route or the possibility to find new archaeological sites. The USFWS suggested that more studies to determine the impact of the “gasoducto” on the wildlife need to be done. The AEE have developed a plan that will simultaneously study the wildlife (including animals and plants) and archaeological sites along the “gasoduto” route in only 30 days. Nevertheless, the approval for the Gasoducto by the United States Army Corps of Engineers is still pending.
