The association Keroxen, in collaboration with Desaplatánate, is organizing an environmental volunteering day on September 27th in Bajamar focused on the removal of rabogato, an invasive species.

The initiative aims to raise awareness and promote citizen participation in the conservation of the Canary Islands' natural environment. Rabogato is an invasive plant that poses a significant threat to the biodiversity and ecosystems of the islands.
During the event, participants will identify and remove specimens of this plant, learning about the effects of invasive species and the importance of prevention. The activity will conclude with a talk-forum on the role of festivals in promoting sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of cultural events.
Keroxen, which promotes the defense of the natural, social, and cultural values of the islands, seeks through this action to reinforce its commitment to sustainability and territory-linked culture. The entity aims to improve local opportunities and foster respect for nature and Canarian culture.
The event is supported by the Cabildo de Tenerife, the Autonomous Body for Culture of the Santa Cruz de Tenerife City Council, the Government of the Canary Islands, the National Institute of Performing Arts and Music (INAEM), the Higher Conservatory of Music of the Canary Islands, and CreaSGR.
