The ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of Galicia, issued on January 21, 2022, resolves an administrative appeal filed by three individuals against an agreement of the Consello de la Xunta de Galicia that approved a wind farm repowering project. The court dismisses most of the arguments presented by the plaintiffs, but declares the agreement null and void due to non-compliance with the deadline for the public information process. Other arguments related to the location of the wind turbines and the environmental impact are also addressed, concluding that the negative effects are moderate and will be mitigated with the corrective measures established in the environmental impact statement. However, there is a question as to whether the Natura 2000 regulations were correctly applied, as any project that may harm the integrity of the site cannot be authorized. It is argued that it should have been demonstrated that the modification of the wind farm would not affect the integrity of the Special Conservation Areas (ZEC) and the importance of preserving habitats of community interest, such as wetlands, is highlighted according to the Habitats Directive.

The present work analized the changes at local level in the food habits of coyote. This work was developed in a Tropical Subdeciduos Forest in the North Coast of Jalisco State. We collected scats from March 1999 to April 2001, in four sites with different conditions. The scats were analized annually, seasonally (dry-wet), for the whole area and between sites. In general, the vegetal items (44.20%), and mammals (36.05%) reached 80% of relative frecuency of occurrence in the diet, observed significant changes between seasons in both groups. The elements with highest relative frequency of occurrence were Vitex hemsleyi, Sigmodon mascotensis and Liomys pictus. The relative frequency of occurrence of vegetal items were different between sites, with highest values in site 1 (47.35%), and the lowest in site 3 (22.22%); the highest frequencies of mammals were in the site 4(44.83%) and the lowest in the site 2 (30.77%). Seasonally, vegetal items consumption were different in the site 2 and site 4, mammals were different in the site 2 and site 4, birds in the site 4, and insects in the site 1. Diversity of items, mesured with index of Shannon (H′), value obtained in the diet of coyote H′= 2.33; diversity of items between sites and seasons were different too. We concludes that the opportunistic behavior of the coyote prevails at local level, showing wide capacity of adaptation in order to use the availability and abundance of feeding resources.
