First meeting of Life Phoenix project teams with the local population in Gran Canaria
After the first meetings held in July 2024 with the local authorities of the two municipalities (San Bartolomé de Tirajana and La Aldea de San Nicolás) where the LIFE Phoenix action areas in Gran Canaria are located, we are repeating this type of information meetings, this time with the participation of the inhabitants of both areas. The main objective of these new meetings was to provide information on the framework and objectives of the project, as well as on the implementation of the working groups with the local population, in the context of the environmental governance activities envisaged in the project. The good reception of these first meetings also led to interesting discussions with local people, allowing us to learn first-hand about their concerns and to gather suggestions and contributions on the project objectives. Throughout the implementation period, until June 2028, similar meetings are planned to be held on a regular basis to facilitate feedback of information and knowledge between the local people and the LIFE Phoenix technical team.
