The regulation aims to establish a robust legal framework for the conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of natural resources across the archipelago. Following observations regarding potential legislative overlaps and technical deficiencies, the Executive has chosen to restart the process while leveraging previous technical work.
The main objective is to unify the various planning and management instruments for biodiversity, which are currently scattered across multiple provisions. This new regulation will allow measures to be adapted to the specific characteristics of the island territory.
In parallel, the draft decree for the Canary Islands Forestry Plan has been approved. This strategic planning aims to protect the islands' forests in the short, medium, and long term, minimizing the risk of forest fires in the territory.
