SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, December 14 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cabildo of Tenerife will open a Visitor Information Center at the La Tahonilla Wildlife Recovery Center and will urgently fill staff vacancies.
The Minister of Natural Environment, Sustainability and Security and Emergencies, Blanca Pérez, explains in a note that they are going to speed up the administrative procedures “to put out to tender the works and begin executing the work next year.”
Pérez also indicates that the priority is to urgently fill the vacancies in the staff of the La Tahonilla Wildlife Recovery Center that come off the reserve lists.
“In the last four years there was no foresight or planning and the reality is that the places need to be filled for better functioning of the center,” he says in a note.
Likewise, the Minister of Natural Environment, Sustainability and Security and Emergencies explains that they will promote actions so that La Tahonilla becomes a center of general interest for the island and that, in addition to performing the functions of a work center, it is a Biodiversity Environmental Information Center for which the aim is to consolidate guided tours for the training of schoolchildren and the general public.
“In this way, we want to contribute to the conservation of biodiversity, as well as the knowledge and appreciation of our natural heritage,” he explains.
Blanca Pérez also remembers that the Wildlife Recovery Center carries out important educational work and that it is frequented by educational centers and groups to learn about its work.
In this sense, each year the center cares for more than 3,500 injured specimens of wildlife that are recovered and rehabilitated to be returned to the natural environment.
Likewise, it has a nursery dedicated to the production of flora for ecological restoration and offers citizens the possibility of purchasing Canarian plants since approximately 30,000 plants of 50 different species are produced per year.
