The Environment Service launches the campaign called “Enjoy Fuerteventura with Environmental Awareness”

Fuerteventura's Cabildo has initiated an environmental awareness campaign aimed at all visitors who wish to discover the island. The initiative's slogan is “Enjoy Fuerteventura with Environmental Awareness”, and it aims at promoting respect for the rules and the island's natural environment. The campaign makes an appeal to visitors asking them to respect and care for the rules in place to preserve the environment. The campaign insists on how important it is not to take away any elements from the island's natural environment, as it can have a negative impact on the ecosystem's balance. Furthermore, it is asked to always use authorised paths, as opening new ones can damage the environment. One of the main objectives of this initiative is to promote knowledge and responsible enjoyment of Fuerteventura's natural protected spaces. Visitors can discover and admire the wealth of local flora and fauna, while always respecting environmental regulations that guarantee the preservation of those unique species. The Cabildo wishes to point out Fuerteventura's unique value as an island which was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. This implies shared responsibility for the protection of the environment, including natural parks and other protected spaces. Respect and adequate behaviours are essential to ensure that future generations will have the same opportunities to enjoy the island.
