The Circle of Entrepreneurs and Professionals of the South of Tenerife (CEST) yesterday showed its rejection of the project of the Master Plan for Use and Management (PRUG) of the Teide National Park, which is currently on public display, due to “the lack of a real participatory process in its drafting» and requests its suspension until all the agents involved are counted. This is one of the allegations that the organization has presented to the Ministry of Ecological Transition of the Government of the Canary Islands.
The president of the Círculo, Roberto Ucelay, regretted that, until now, the process of preparing the Master Plan for the Use and Management of the Teide National Park has not had a truly participatory and consensual procedure with the sectors involved and urges that it be submitted to public information a document prepared with public-private participation.
“Natural spaces have outstanding ecological, aesthetic, cultural, educational and scientific values whose conservation deserves preferential attention,” explained the president.
However, Ucelay made it clear that “any protective measure that is put in place for this depth must be sustainable from all perspectives, not just the environmental one. Economic and social sustainability must also be taken into account.”
