MINORCA, BIOSPHERE RESERVE

Do you want to travel to Minorca? It is a wonderful island if you want to enjoy nature, unfortunately it has little to do with most of the advertisements that you are going to come across.

This game and all the "Travel to Minorca: ..." games are critical reflections on the situation in Minorca due to the disastrous management carried out for decades and that even the conformist citizens of the island should not tolerate and justify.

The distinctive "Biosphere Reserve" is simply a joke, which Unesco should review and if the situation continues, obviously remove it because in that way it is impossible to have a minimum of international credibility.

Unless the brand “Biosphere Reserve” only pursues the purpose for which many politicians in Minorca use it, and which consists of simply a slogan to attract tourism that does not know the true situation in Minorca...

And it is that Minorca is sustainable only has that label. That is why i invite Unesco to check the situation on the spot and not trust the word of the vast majority of politicians and associations that they support.

If the intention when declaring it a Biosphere Reserve was only to attract tourism is totally understandable. But if Unesco cares about international credibility, and that statement is based on the calculation of the variables required for such a statement, they would do well to review it. Since there are two options, either politicians and their associates have lied to them enormously or UNESCO has the same credibility as an anonymous person on social networks.

Starting with waste management, transferred to private companies that largely do not comply with what was agreed and municipalities that, by making these contracts as cheap as possible, allow this saving to be detrimental to their workers. One of the conditions for a territory to be declared a Biosphere Reserve is that it offers a minimum quality of life to its citizens as well. And for this, an income to live with dignity and a correct management of waste avoiding polluting Minorca to offer the maximum benefit to private companies is nuclear.

Energy is another joke, with hardly any infrastructure for the generation of renewable energies, and the few existing ones that are often damaged or activated / deactivated according to criteria that generate great doubts.

Since after observing different conditions such as meteorology, hours of high or low energy demand, price of energy by sections, etc. It is really difficult to understand what criteria are being followed to, for example, activate or deactivate the “Es Milá” wind generators.

Needless to say, to encourage the use of electric vehicles such as e-scooters that, even with serious circulation problems due to the overcrowding of cars on this small island, politicians have dedicated themselves to hindering circulation with electric scooters as much as possible, requiring much more to these than bicycles, even to electric ones. It is no coincidence that for the photo some politicians show off their bicycles, and leave scooters for a few decades when there is no risk to position themselves in relation to it...

Of course, they have not built the promised 75 km of bike lanes either, denying the possibility of e-scooters to travel the island and endangering cyclists by forcing them to share roads with cars on poor quality roads due to their poor maintenance and that they have a high rate of serious accidents.

And it's just a sample...

Which means that many people do not choose this type of vehicle and cause such a mass of cars in an endless loop. Apart from the lost business opportunities for companies to offer e-scooters to travel the island in a sustainable way and enjoying much more of the flora and fauna of this beautiful island than traveling by car.

It reminds me of when skateboarding hobby began in Minorca and skaters were persecuted and fined while no politician gave a solution with something as simple as the construction of skateparks. Today you can surely see these politicians cheering for skaters at the Olympiads...

In addition, you have to be too optimistic to think that tourism that comes from urban areas can or wants to travel along the “camí de cavalls” (rural roads) in the very bad condition they are in. Because yes, in Minorca it may be built, but then maintenance is non-existent.

So this type of tourism will only be able to travel with difficulty by walking or being expert MTB cyclists. With which, more overcrowding of cars on roads and beaches by not diversifying and not having the option of enjoying nature in Minorca in a different way than "Sun and beach".

With a polluting, inefficient public transport system that does not meet the needs of tourists and even less of residents who are forced, once again, to choose the car as a means of transport, feeding the loop of the massification of cars in a small island like Minorca.

As examples of the inefficiency of the service, it does not cover a large number of beaches and POI, services in areas with less affluence are practically non-existent and apart, although it seems incredible, in summer on Sundays it does not operate in some of the beaches or POI most visited. And even if they advertise that they offer a service with a trailer for the transport of bicycles, with a simple look at the conditions, characteristics, schedules and options for the cyclist, those who know Minorca will know that it is not a practical and viable service for the amateur cyclist or familiar groups.

But the disastrous management is not surprising, with politicians exercising blatant nepotism and patronage, allowing influential owners to close access to rural roads that had always been for public use and that obviously do not belong to them.

Not even the island has quality water, contaminated with nitrates and which is not suitable for human consumption, when we have always had more than healthy water. With evidence that it has been caused by excessive consumption together with leaks due to the mismanagement of waste in the landfill, again by the disastrous management of private companies that only pursue the maximum benefit and the non-existent control of these by municipalities that they only seek to lower the cost of services with what this means for the citizen.

And after all this, thanks for visiting the page and i hope you enjoy the game.

It has been thoroughly tested but if you detect a bug i would appreciate it if you leave it in the comments.

Sorry if the graphics are mediocre, but i have no talent for it and at the moment what i want is to learn to program, with which the graphic quality takes a back seat.

And i know that i could use sprites downloaded from the web, but for now i discard it since it is very difficult to get all the necessary sprites that share the same style without working together with a designer.

MENORCA, RESERVA DE LA BIOSFERA

¿Deseas viajar a Menorca? Es una isla maravillosa si quieres disfrutar de la naturaleza, desgraciadamente poco tiene que ver con la mayoría de las publicidades con las que te vas a topar.

Este juego y todos los "Viaja a Menorca:...", son reflexiones críticas a la situación de Menorca por la nefasta gestión llevada a cabo durante décadas y que incluso los conformistas ciudadanos de la isla no deberían tolerar y justificar.

El distintivo de "Reserva de la Biosfera" es sencillamente un chiste, que la Unesco debería revisar y si la situación se mantiene obviamente retirar porque de esa forma es imposible tener un mínimo de credibilidad internacional.

A no ser que la marca “Reserva de la Biosfera” sólo persiga la finalidad para la que la usan muchos políticos en Menorca, y que consiste en simplemente un eslogan para atraer al turismo que desconoce la verdadera situación en Menorca...

Y es que de sostenible Menorca tiene solamente dicha etiqueta. Por eso invito a la Unesco a comprobar in situ la situación y no confiar en la palabra de la inmensa mayoría de los políticos y asociaciones que éstos amparan.

Si la intención al declararla Reserva de la Biosfera era solamente para atraer al turismo es totalmente comprensible. Pero si a la Unesco le importa su credibilidad internacional, y dicha declaración está basada en el cálculo de las variables requeridas para tal declaración harían bien en revisarlo. Ya que existen dos opciones, o los políticos y sus asociados les han mentido enormemente o la Unesco tiene la misma credibilidad que un anónimo en redes sociales.

Empezando por la gestión de residuos, cedida a empresas privadas que en gran medida no cumplen con lo acordado y ayuntamientos que, abaratando todo lo posible dichas contratas permiten que ese ahorro vaya en detrimento de sus trabajadores. Una de las condiciones para que un territorio sea declarado Reserva de la Biosfera es que ofrezca una mínima calidad de vida a sus ciudadanos también. Y para ello unos ingresos para vivir dignamente y una correcta gestión de los residuos evitando contaminar Menorca para ofrecer el máximo beneficio a empresas privadas es nuclear. http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/HQ/SC/pdf/biosphere_reserve_nomination_form_2013_es.pdf

La energía es otro chiste, sin apenas infraestructuras para la generación de energías renovables, y las pocas existentes muchas veces estropeadas o activadas/desactivadas según unos criterios que generan grandes dudas.

Ya que tras la observación de diferentes condicionantes como meteorología, horas de mucha o poca demanda energética, precio de la energía por tramos, etc. es realmente difícil comprender qué criterios se están siguiendo para por ejemplo activar o desactivar los generadores eólicos de “Es Milá”.

Ni que decir de incentivar el uso de vehículos eléctricos como VMPs que, aún con graves problemas de circulación a causa de la masificación de automóviles en esta pequeña isla, los políticos se han dedicado a entorpecer todo lo posible la circulación con patinetes eléctricos requiriendo mucho más a éstos que a las bicicletas, a las eléctricas incluso. No es casualidad que para la foto algunos políticos luzcan sus bicicletas, los patinetes los dejan para dentro de unas décadas cuando no suponga ningún riesgo posicionarse en relación a ello…

Eso sí, tampoco han construido los 75 km de carril bici prometido, negando la posibilidad a los VMPs de recorrer la isla y poniendo en peligro a los ciclistas obligándoles a compartir vías con los automóviles en unas carreteras de mala calidad por su pésimo mantenimiento y que cuentan con una elevada tasa de graves accidentes.
