The Cabildo will stop using the glyphosate herbicide in natural spaces. It is the unanimous agreement in response to an initiative of the Popular Party. His advisor Valentín González Évora values: “Our proposal is aimed at preserving biodiversity in those spaces that have flora or endemic or protected species.”
González considers that “we have managed to get the Cabildo to bet on alternative methods that are more sustainable and respectful of health and the environment”
The agreement ratifies the Cabildo’s commitment not to use broad-spectrum herbicides, with glyphosate as the active substance. On the other hand, the commitment to more sustainable and respectful alternative methods with health and the environment is promoted. Basically, in protected natural spaces for the preservation of biodiversity or in those areas with flora or endemic species.
