27th September 2019, Fuerteventura joins the global initiative against Climate Change being carried out by international organizations such as 'Fridays for Future', initiated in Sweden by Greta Thunberg, with a 'March for the climate' that will tour Puerto del Rosario.

These organizations want to support, with their support, the work of all young people in defense of our planet and our environment, and they hope that other companies and administrations of the Island will join it to achieve the greatest success of this march.
The worldwide movement "Friday's for Future", to which more than 120 countries have joined, stands out for its independence with respect to organizations and political parties. It is led by students and has also been supported by more than 15,000 European and US scientists.

Hundreds of young people

"Many young people are aware that their future, and ours, depends on the protection of our environment, but they are not always given the opportunity to be heard, and, we want to help them in this initiative," said Guacimara Cabrera, director of marketing and communication of Oasis WildLife Fuerteventura.

"Young people are the present, and they should be the ones who raise awareness and commit the whole society, including institutions, to work decisively to preserve our environment and protect all species that are now in danger," said Cabrera. "This day wants to bring together hundreds of young people, who can accompany their parents, teachers, political representatives of all administrations, employers etc ..."
The fight against climate change will be in this protest march, but also seeks to be educational. During the previous week, and the same day of the event, different activities and workshops will be carried out, proposed by them in educational centres and in companies, in what will be called 'Week of action for the climate'.
