More Than a Mountain: the Contentious Multiplicity of Tindaya (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands)
More than a mountain: the contentious multiplicity of Tindaya (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands) Isaac Marrero-Guillamón Goldsmiths, University of London The mountain of Tindaya (Fuerteventura, Canary Islands) has been surrounded by controversy since the mid-1990s. It is, at once, a listed indigenous site, a protected natural environment, a mining resource, and the designated location of a monumental intervention by artist Eduardo Chillida, consisting in digging a grand cubic cave in its interior. This article conceptualizes Tindaya as a contentious multiplicity and analyses the mountain’s competing enactments. The state’s Tindaya is a ‘partitioned’ mountain, an entity split into different dimensions (cultural and natural; interior and exterior) that can be both legally protected and excavated. In contrast, activists have enacted a ‘holistic’ mountain, characterized by the inseparability of its multiple ‘values’ (archaeological, geological, environmental) and the need to protect it as a single whole. These two enactments constitute ‘worlding’ practices connected to opposing understandings of the relationship between heritage, nature, and the future. For the state, the mountain is an asset to be exploited, an opportunity to bring about prosperous futures fashioned after the spectacular projects of the metropolis. For the activists, Tindaya represents a unique opportunity to rethink the island’s development model and to put indigenous heritage and environmental concerns at its centre. Tindaya’s unresolved multiplicity is therefore political in the broadest sense: it is a reminder that reality can be otherwise. ‘Do not touch Tindaya’, read the banner; ‘the Monument already exists’, said the t-shirts. A dozen activists representing the Coordinadora Montaña Tindaya (Tindaya Mountain Coordinating Committee, henceforth Coordinadora) stood at the entrance of Fuerteventura’s Government Building, about to make a statement. -

RESUMEN: Durante la estación reproductora de 2009 (febrero-junio) se ha estudiado el tamaño de la población de cuervo en cuatro islas del archipié- lago canario. En total fueron censadas 44 parejas: diez en Gran Canaria, 12 en Tenerife, 17 en La Palma y cinco en La Gomera. La mayoría de estas parejas tienen sus territorios en barrancos, roquedos y acantilados marinos, coincidiendo con enclaves donde aún existe actividad ganadera (rebaños de cabras y ovejas) o cabras asilvestradas. Es muy probable que el tamaño de la población flotante no supere al de las aves reproductoras. Se discuten las amenazas reales y potenciales. Palabras clave: Corvus corax, censo, distribución, conservación, islas cen- tro-occidentales, archipiélago canario. ABSTRACT: During the 2009 breeding season (February-June) we studied the population size of Common Raven on four islands of the Canarian archi- pelago. -

[email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT The reconstruction of total marine fisheries catches for the islands of Madeira for 1950-2010 added estimates of unreported subsistence and recreational catches, as well as discards to the reported commercial fisheries landings obtained from official statistics. While there are suggestions that commercial fisheries (e.g. black-scabbard fish fishery) also produce unreported catches, we were not able to estimate these at this point. Total estimated fisheries catches taken by Madeira from the Madeiran EEZ were around 460,000 tonnes for the 1950-2010 period, increasing from around 2,300 t in 1950 to a peak of 15,000 t in 1995, before declining to around 5,400 t by 2010. -

Those that took place between 2009 and 2017 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, their quantitative dimension and their intra-urban distribution are analysed in this study. This perspective allows an appreciation of their relationship with the unequal distribution of income and alien status, factors leading the investigations on the loss of property. In order to achieve this objective, the records of the Common Service of Notifications and Seizures have been used together with data of the Inland Revenue Ministry and Municipal Register, combining statistical and cartographical analysis with the purpose of finding associations Received: 07.06.2020 Accepted: 23.08.2020 Published: 19.11.2020 Published under the terms and conditions of an Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license. and predictive factors. The study reveals that there is a great concentration of real estate deprivation in the central areas of the city and that the standards of distribution of dispossession are inversely related to the level of income of the urban districts and directly related to the foreign population. -

Fuerteventura Field Trip - 24 March 2019
Fuerteventura field trip - 24 March 2019 On our last day of geology we moved to examine the central area of the island. 1. On the bus As we progressed to our first stop, two aspects of the landscape were pointed out by Alan. Firstly the large number of abandoned buildings. Most of the agriculture on the island now seems to have stopped, possibly due to the increasing cost of water. The main industry on the island is tourism, and a consequence of this is that many imported foods have become cheaper making island grown goods uneconomic. Secondly, the large flat plain between the mountains. Originally Alan said that this was considered to be caused by two parallel faults at the base of the mountains and expansion, in the same say our own Worcester plain is formed. However, no faults we found and the modern view is that the plain is created solely by erosion. 2. Viewpoint - Mirador Guise y Ayose We stood just north of the small town of Betancuria, looking east over the plains. About 20 million years ago the northern part of the island was occupied by a large volcanic flank of more than 2km. in height. 16 million years ago this collapsed due to a large landslide. Today the remnants of the flank form a mountain range in the distance. The hillocks, where we are now stood, form the Betancuria massif. The plain in-between the two in the last two million years has been filled by new volcanic eruptions. The Betancuria massif is a hard plutonic area, unlike the softer igneous rocks produced from the erosion of volcanic shield. -
