The Garajonay National Park has scheduled two public presentation sessions next week to introduce the new Management, Use, and Governance Plan (PRUG). These meetings are designed as spaces for information, dialogue, and citizen participation in La Gomera, aiming to detail the content of the document that will define the park's management, conservation, and protection.
The first session will be aimed at residents of the northern region and will take place on Tuesday, October 6, at 5:00 PM, in the Benedicto Negrín Auditorium in Agulo. The second meeting, targeting the southern region, will be held on Wednesday, October 7, also at 5:00 PM, at the Multipurpose Building in Chipude.
During both sessions, the main contents of the new PRUG will be presented, along with measures and lines of action that may directly or indirectly affect the island's territory and population. The aim is to facilitate understanding of the new regulations, their implications, and allow attendees to raise questions of interest.
The organization emphasizes the importance of bringing this planning instrument closer to those who live in the vicinity of the National Park and have a direct connection with it. The sessions are conceived as an open space for consultation and exchange with the local population to foster knowledge of the guidelines that will shape the future management of the protected area.
It is recalled that Garajonay is a natural heritage of extraordinary value, whose conservation is linked to both the territory and its inhabitants. Therefore, the involvement and knowledge of the local population are considered essential for responsible management and adequate protection of its natural and cultural values.
The management of the National Park encourages citizens to participate in these sessions as an opportunity to learn firsthand about the new PRUG, understand the future guidelines for the National Park, and contribute through knowledge and dialogue to its conservation.
