Under the name 'Breaking botanical blindness', the initiative is aimed at all those visitors and residents of the island who want to know, first hand, the biodiversity of Fuerteventura and the threats faced by its species.
With the help of Dr. Stephan Scholz and a team of educators from Oasis Wildlife, these routes will be carried out on Saturdays 5, 12 and 19 of February.
The first of the routes will begin next Saturday, February 5, at 9.30 in the morning, in the Saladar de Jandía and the participants will meet next to the sperm whale of the 'Path of the cetaceans' to begin the route. The following itineraries will pass through the Pinar de Betancuria, on February 12 and whose meeting point will be in the picnic area of the picnic area of the same name; and, by the Dunes of Corralejo, on February 19, which will depart from the entrance of the Hotel Riu Oliva Beach Resort.
