Insular investment of 1.2 million euros for the Teno Rural Park in Buenavista del Norte
The Tenerife Island Corporation (Cabildo) has approved a 1.2 million Euro investment package for the Teno Rural Park in 2006. The park's governing body met recently in its management offices at Los Pedregales in the El Palmar valley. The investment package, which was unanimously approved, is divided between conservation (454,800 euros), public use and environmental education (320,983.64 euros) and socioeconomic development (429,016 euros).
Councillor for Environment and Landscape, Wladimiro Rodríguez (CC), said that "the measures attempt to improve the quality of life of the local population, favoring socioeconomic development of the surroundings and guaranteeing the conservation of its enormous natural and cultural heritage. This year's budget aims to reinforce the local economy and to fight against depopulation or migration towards urban areas, by means of support of initiatives towards the sustainable development of the area."
He continued, "It is important to underline that more than half of the budget is spent on local labour and on materials and machinery provided by local companies. We can conclude that three-quarters of the finance directly benefits the area and its inhabitants."
The park's governing body is made up from members of the Island Corporation, the Canary Islands government, various councils in the area, as well as residents' associations and farmers in the area.
