The Cabildo of Lanzarote, together with the public company Gesplan, is launching the preparation of the draft of Phase 1, called: Draft and Initial Strategic Document of the Governing Plan for Use and Management of the Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park.
To seek consensus in the preparation of this document, citizens and agents involved in the park have been invited to working groups that will take place on November 20 at the Socio-cultural Center of Caleta de Famara and, the following day, November 21, in La Graciosa, at the Parish Center of Caleta de Sebo, both at 5:30 p.m..
The Chinijo Archipelago Natural Park includes the Riscos de Famara and part of the plains of the Jable of the island of Lanzarote, the island of La Graciosa, the islets of Alegranza and Montaña Clara, and the Roques del Oeste and del Este, as well as the marine area between the islets and the north coast of Lanzarote. It is an area of great ecological and cultural value, so it is absolutely necessary to preserve its biodiversity and natural landscapes.
In this sense, the Councilor for Territorial Planning and Territorial Policy, Jesús Machín, points out that "the main challenge of the Governing Plan for Use and Management of the Natural Park, a strategic document, is to establish a clear consensus framework for the management of the park that combines the conservation of natural habitats with the sustainable development of its population centers."
Machín invites citizens "to participate in these working groups, an open call that aims to ensure that all voices and perspectives are heard and considered."
