Las Canteras is not just a beach. It is an ecosystem, a space for coexistence, and a common good that requires that all voices be heard to protect it.
A Forum Where Citizens Decide
The Las Canteras Ecotourism Microarea Forum is a participatory space promoted by the City Council of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Here, decisions are not imposed from an office: solutions are sought together for the real management problems of this unique space.
The Role of Latitud Azul as Facilitator
Latitud Azul acts as a neutral facilitator of the participatory process, guaranteeing that:
- All opinions are heard, not just the loudest ones
- Agreements are consensual and viable
- Decisions protect the natural space without excluding those who enjoy it
- Sustainability is the cross-cutting criterion
What Is Debated at the Forum?
The Forum addresses the concrete challenges that Las Canteras faces as a natural and urban space:
- Access management and pedestrianization of sensitive areas like El Confital
- Compatibility between recreational use and conservation
- Regulation of activities to protect marine biodiversity
- Environmental education as a transformation tool
Real Participation, Not Showcasing
In a time where "citizen participation" is often reduced to suggestion boxes that no one reads, the Las Canteras Forum is real participation: real people debating about their beach, their neighborhood, their ecosystem.
Because protecting Las Canteras is everyone's business. Will you join the next Forum?
