SEE IMAGES OF THE MASPALOMAS DUNES "HERE" DURING COVID19
The Maspalomas Dunes are the largest tourist attraction in the Canary Islands. Tourists and visitors to Las Palmas have been massacring this space since its commercial dynamics began in 1958. The Cabildo of Gran Canaria has admitted this Monday that this 400-hectare space has 8 security guards. That is to say: that and nothing is the same. An industry worth 5.459 million euros and an expenditure of 1.450 euros per person per day in tourist spending depends on the Maspalomas Dunes.
The 2030 Agenda is receiving all the criticism from farmers because it is cutting off their exploitation of the soil. Point 15 of the 2030 Agenda points out the need to protect the "life of terrestrial ecosystems" and that to do so "a transformative change is necessary in the way we produce and consume, in the way we govern our societies and in the way we interact with the environment.
However, the gurus who are dedicated to this matter have the Maspalomas Dunes out of their plan of demands for restrictions. The penalties for circumventing the protection vary depending on whether the environmental infractions committed are minor or serious, so that the most common will range between 150 and 600 euros, although in the case of attacks that can be classified as aggregate extraction the amount can reach up to 600.000 euros.
Among the main damages suffered by the Maspalomas Dunes, erosion stands out. It is the main problem that affects the Maspalomas Dunes, generating the degradation of this natural space, resulting in a loss of landscape value given that they are an important economic resource for Gran Canaria. The degradation of this natural space could mean a loss of tourism income.
