Press Release

The Cabildo of Fuerteventura reinforces its environmental‑agent corps with the incorporation of three new officers, under the coordination of the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Human Resources.

“Fuerteventura is a territory especially sensitive from an environmental point of view, so it is essential to strengthen the work carried out by the Environmental Agents in monitoring and protecting our island, one of the priorities of this government,” said island president Lola García.
“This work must be accompanied by greater public awareness and citizen consciousness to guarantee the conservation of our natural resources.”

The new officers were received by Nuria Cabrera, Minister of Human Resources, and Carlos Rodríguez, Minister of the Environment.

“It is important to keep reinforcing the various Cabildo departments, especially those that assume direct corporate competencies,” emphasized Nuria Cabrera. “The incorporation of new agents allows us to strengthen the service and improve the administration’s response capacity in key areas such as the conservation and protection of the territory, which is one of the pillars of this government’s action.”

Carlos Rodríguez added:

“The swift action of the Cabildo’s Environmental Agents is crucial for protecting flora, fauna, and our natural landscapes and heritage.”
“We must focus our efforts on environmental‑education campaigns so that society and public administrations together contribute to protecting and conserving our environment.”

He also stressed the role of the public:

“It is not only about surveillance; it is also about the collaboration of residents and visitors in respecting regulations and good environmental practices, especially on an island as extensive as Fuerteventura, where a large part of the surface is protected.”

Finally, Rodríguez concluded:

“It is essential that citizens report any observed infractions, ensuring they are forwarded to the competent environmental authorities.”
