CABAÑAS, May 20 (Moisés Rodríguez Valdés, Grupo
Decoro / www.cubanet.org) - The beach known locally as La Herradura, on the
north coast, west of Havana, is threatened by spreading growths of Australian
pine, an invasive, foreign species which, among other problems, tends to crowd
out native flora and fauna.
As far back as the 1980s, the Ministry of Science, Technology and the
Environment classified the trees as undesirable, and they were removed from
Cuba's most famous beach, Varadero, and others.
La Herradura, however, is still heavily populated by the trees.
