The controversy continues in the lines of Timanfaya National Park. This time, a tourist who was waiting with his vehicle to enter Las Montañas del Fuego decided to get out of the vehicle and start picking up stones inside the protected area.
A social media user has echoed this situation and spread it on her TikTok account. "Again a tourist doing whatever he wants on the islands. Timanfaya National Park, it is forbidden to get out of the car, but he gets out and picks up souvenir stones", the user has denounced.
In most cases, what tourists steal from the beaches of Lanzarote and La Graciosa is lithic material, that is, stones, rofe or sand. Each year, more than a ton of natural elements that tourists extract from the island's spaces are collected. This is reflected in the data that La Voz was able to access in December of last year.
It is not the first time that these types of situations have occurred in Timanfaya National Park. Almost two months ago, some tourists decided to leave the path and began to climb one of the mountains in the National Park.
The Government of the Canary Islands has reported on its website that "it is not allowed to leave the path, since this entire area is declared a Reserve area due to its fragility and ecological importance".
