Nine trails and ravines in Fuerteventura closed due to the bird breeding season.
The Ministry of Environment and Hunting, headed by Carlos Rodríguez, has closed a total of nine spaces, including sections of trails and ravines, on the island to protect protected species during their nesting period. This measure, which will be in force from February 15 to July 31, coincides with the bird breeding period on the island. Closed sections include Morro Francisco, La Muda, Malpaís de la Arena, Rosa de Tinojay, Barranco de Los Molinos, Barranco de La Muley, Caldera de Gairía, Barranco de La Torre and Caldera de Los Arrabales.
In this way, the Environment Department has worked on the restoration of the signs that indicate the closed trails, urging respect for these measures to protect the various species that nest in Fuerteventura.
The councillor, Carlos Rodríguez, highlighted the importance of respecting the existing signage to promote the reproduction and conservation of these species. In addition, he noted the possibility of expanding the list of closed trails if some species occupy new territories to breed.
For this reason, the island corporation asks the general public to respect the regulations while reminding them of the importance of using the designated trails within the Fuerteventura Trail Network, maintaining silence in these areas, controlling pets and refraining from circulating with vehicles cross-country. In addition to the closed trails, there are many birds that nest in plains and could be affected.
