The environmental awareness seems not to have reached everyone. Tenerife currently has 27 closed trails and forest tracks due to the fire that started last August on the island. However, despite the clear signs defining these areas, which indicate that entry is prohibited, it seems that not everyone completely understands this.
Thus, this Sunday, February 25, was the environmental educator and mountain guide J. C. Herrero who decided to report through his account on the social network X a situation that seems to be increasingly common.
In his post, he clearly exposed how a group of people bypass the closure of a forest track in the Caldera area (PR 25.1), in La Orotava.

“A colleague sent me this photo…, a true reflection of what happens in all protected natural spaces in Canary Islands“, he states.
The image shows about nine individuals and two dogs casually strolling along a closed track with a fence and a sign hanging, indicating, in Spanish and English, in addition to the no entry notice, that it is a burnt area undergoing conservation work.
Likewise, there is a warning about the risk of landslides and falling trees and branches.
