Coinciding with the World Environment Day, the Government’s deputy delegate in A Coruña, María Rivas, approached the city of Cabanas to highlight the Magdalena pine forest, which has a great ecological richness and tourist attraction.
María Rivas was accompanied on her visit by Mayor Carlos Ladra, and by the Territory’s agent in Just Transition Agreements, Nuria Álvarez. The subdelegate was interested in the project financed by the Institute for the Just Transition, with 498,872.22 euros, which includes both environmental recovery and urban integration and improvement of accessibility.
On the day of the Ambente Environment, the subdelegate stressed the importance of preserving and maintaining spaces as privileged as the pine forest of the Magdalena and hence the importance of removing sick specimens, reforesting the surface with native species and limiting the dune area, as stated in the project.
The environmental recovery plan of the Pinar de la Magdalena also includes conditioning of paths and wooden walkways to guarantee the use of the bathing areas to people with mobility problems as well as increasing the safety levels of pedestrians and cyclists.
María Rivas wanted to send a message “to all those who, every day, exercise responsibility with the planet and fight to stop climate change and make the world more sustainable in all areas of our lives”.
The subdelegate said that the preservation of a space such as the pine grove of the Magdalena “is an issue that reaches us all” and “each and every one of us must watch, within the framework of their responsibilities to avoid environmental aggressions”.
