Off-road vehicles were intervened in the Integral Reserve of Inagua, which holds significant ecological value, “with a highly restricted access regime to preserve its integrity and all tourism or recreational activities must comply with the regulations established by current legislation.”
The Environment and Cultural Heritage Group (GRUMA) of the Canarian General Police Corps (CGPC) has identified those responsible for a caravan of safari-type vehicles after detecting their circulation within the Integral Reserve of Inagua, a protected natural space of high ecological value on the island of Gran Canaria, as reported in a statement by the Ministry of the Presidency, Public Administration, Justice and Security of the Government of the Canary Islands.
The intervention took place as part of the functions of monitoring, inspecting and protecting specially relevant protected natural spaces in this area due to its unique biodiversity and the presence of endangered endemic species.
GRUMA agents drew up the corresponding reports of complaint for violations of environmental regulations and access to areas of special protection.
At the time of the events, Gran Canaria was under alert for high temperatures and the risk of wildfires, a situation that demands heightened precautions and the avoidance of any activity that could jeopardise environmental safety.
“The Integral Reserve of Inagua has a highly restricted access regime to preserve its integrity and all tourism or recreational activities must comply with the regulations established by current legislation,” emphasised the Canarian Government.
The commitment of GRUMA of the CGPC is to ensure the conservation of the natural and cultural heritage of the Canary Islands, “guaranteeing that future generations can enjoy this unique legacy,” concludes the statement.
