Ban Madeira condemns the lack of environmental vision of the regional government Funchal News Madeira News – Information from everyone for everyone!
It warns that Madeira is of the growing tourist pressure in the independent area in Madeira, in contrast to the statements of the regional prime minister, on Tuesday, during the presentation of the government program, in which he denied the existence of a tourist sentence.
Reality on Earth shows the opposite. During a visit to Ribeiro Frio, where the frying pan today implemented the course of the meters, there is not only difficulty in finding parking lots, but also the concentration of tourists along the path, a position that harms calm, biological diversity and environmental sustainability of the region.
In addition, the Pan delegation found that although it was accused of entering the road for a few hours of the day, this charge is not permanently or permanently. This situation raises doubts about the transparency of the process, unifying standards, and above all, the destination of revenues collected.
“What is at stake is not only the number of visitors, but the complete absence of strategic planning and the active conservation policy. The regional government chooses to manage nature as a business, without ensuring the balance between recovery and conservation,” says Válter Ramos, deputy speaker and candidate for the national elections.
Pan Madeira is unacceptable that the amounts imposed on visitors are not completely due to the preservation of ecosystems, but for bad purposes, and in some cases, it is strange to environmental protection. In the scenario of increased rail degradation, soil erosion and local animal disorder, it is necessary to invest seriously in preserving nature and planning tourist flows.
“Madera cannot be treated as a border tourist product. We need sustainable policies that respect our natural heritage and the welfare of the local population. There is no nature without nature and there will be no future if it is not ignored,” Valter Ramos is enhancing.
Pan Madeira calls on the creation of a plan for real management and control over rods and protected areas, as well as the clear and obligatory application of revenues obtained at access rates, exclusively in environmental conservation and monitoring procedures.
