The Council of Tenerife has launched an information and control campaign in the environment and waters of the Los Gigantes Cliffs, on the coast of the Teno Rural Park, to raise awareness of the fragility of the biodiversity of these protected areas and show that human leisure activities can affect some endangered species that are exclusive to the environment, such as the osprey (guincho), the giant lizard of Tenerife and unique plants, such as the Guergue immortelle.

«Various species of birds, among others the guincho or osprey, nest and breed in this area, between the months of February and August. For this reason, it is necessary to take extreme care, not to approach the coast less than 250 meters, except in Playa de Masca or Punta de Teno, and avoid noise and inconvenience that put the few existing clutches at risk», said the Minister of Management of the Natural Environment, Isabel García.
