Enjoy the sunset doing yoga in the Teide National Park, make a campfire among brooms at nightfall, spread out some sleeping bags in the middle of the ravines. An instagramer with just over 6,000 followers has shared images of her dream plan in Tenerife. “We couldn’t leave this place with so much energy without sleeping here. Nowhere had he experienced the sound of silence like this. Nowhere had I seen so many stars in the sky”, starts his “inspiring” message.
The ecologists from the Fundación Telesforo Bravo and Juan Coello did not like the photos at all, and they did not hesitate to criticize the situation, “again a bonfire on Mount Teide”, they lamented in a statement. “The National Park cannot continue like this. The situation is unsustainable, but there are those who do not seem to care because the only thing that interests them is to use it for their own interest”, they emphasized, winking at the detractors of the Master Plan for the Use and Management of the Teide National Park (PRUG ), who have called a demonstration this Saturday, the 4that 5:30 p.m., feeling that the project restricts their freedom to play sports or walk their pets in the surroundings of the volcano.
“There are different groups and people who without showing their faces, are trying to direct public opinion so that it demonstrates against the PRUG draft,” the Foundation pointed out. “We are analyzing it together with other groups and we will formulate the allegations that we believe are appropriate to achieve the purpose for which the Park was created: to defend its natural heritage and also to preserve its archaeological values,” they continued in their message.
“If you don’t want the process of degradation of our most emblematic natural space to continue, participate,” they encouraged, noting that the deadline to present allegations remains open.
Likewise, the Foundation invited the Cabildo de Tenerife and the Government of the Canary Islands so that the Plan does not remain a “wet paper”. “If sufficient material and personal resources are not allocated to the surveillance and conservation of the Park, nothing will change and Teide will continue to deteriorate”, they concluded.
