The president of the Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation says that there are still no dates for the implementation of these limits, but leaves the guarantee to Antena 1 that the fines for those who do not have tickets will be aggravated in relation to those that are currently applied to tourists who make routes that are closed.
Fines ranging from 250 to 2500 euros.
Manuel Filipe admits problems in routes at peaks of greater affluence but ensures that, as soon as the limits are defined, there will be greater supervision and remembers that soon there will be 40 more forest rangers.
Forty forest guards that will join the 67 already existing.
The Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation ensures that the nature vigilantes – who are currently 42 – will also be involved in the inspection as soon as the limits of diaries of use of the most sought-after pedestrian routes in the Region are defined.
