A group of 45 students from the Canary Island Employment Service are involved in a reforestation project in the Betancuria region of
Fuerteventura, it has emerged.
According to Sunny Fuerteventura, 400 specimens of native plants will be transported to the Morra Velosa area from local nurseries, meaning that the island could become even more enjoyable for nature lovers on Canary Island holidays.
The project is part of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura's flora and fauna training programme, which aims to promote reforestation issues and encourage attention to wildlife.
Each species has been carefully selected with regards to its ability to adapt to new conditions, according to the Cabildo's minister for the environment Natalia Evora.
She told the website that an innovative fertilising technique will be employed, allowing the new plants to "adapt more rapidly and with greater chance of survival to the new environment where they are located".
Sunny Fuerteventura recently reported that visitors to the island can now visit its more remote areas with a series of new walking guides entitled Green Footprints.
