A reader denounces the "worrying situation" that affects the Montaña Roja volcano, in Playa Blanca. According to his testimony, there has been "a notable deterioration" of this natural environment derived from the "misuse" that some tourists make of the area.
Among the bad practices carried out by tourists, the most notable are those of visitors who place stones forming names and other figures. "This distorts the natural and pristine image of the volcano," adds the reader.
Although he defends that there may be no bad intention in these actions, he points out that this type of practice generates "significant damage to the landscape" and compromises "the integrity of the volcano."
"Montaña Roja is a natural heritage of great value for our island and deserves to be preserved for future generations," he continues.
To address this situation, he raises the need to take "educational and preventive measures." Among them, the installation of signs that explain and promote respect for the conservation of this natural space. In addition to highlighting the importance of keeping the area "free of human alterations" and "promoting responsible behavior."
