Coexistence with nature With this exhibition space we want to evoke that terrible period of pandemic in which human beings, locked in their homes, became observers of animal behavior while, curiously, we witnessed changes in nature. This space evokes a reflection on the necessary improvement in the coexistence between humans and nature to achieve the sustainability and well-being of our planet, and invites us to relive a period that marked a before and after for both humans and society. Land. The director of the Museum of Natural Sciences, Fátima Hernández, states that her team has presented "different proposals for temporary exhibitions on impact topics, and we believe that this has been one of the most powerful for recreating a crucial moment in our history." Changes in behaviors Hernández highlights that "what happened during confinement allowed, once it was over, multiple studies and scientific articles to be carried out on which we have based this sample" and adds that "during this period the organisms not only approached spaces generally inhabited by humans, but also changed their behaviors.

The visitor will have a single window with reality, coming from a television. In it, through a news report, the peculiar behavior that the natural environment experienced during confinement is reviewed, due to the attenuation of the human impact on the biota.I Swimming Trip Ámate Tenerife South Presentation of the 1st Ámate Tenerife Sur Swim Trip |  Photo: Ámate Presentation of Europe Mobile Number List the 1st Ámate Tenerife Sur Swim Trip | Photo: Ámate We spoke with Mari Carmen Bonfante, president of the breast cancer association of Tenerife, about this solidarity initiative.

The drought will intensify in the Canary Islands in the coming years The drought will mean important changes in ways of life | The drought will mean important changes in ways of life | Juan Pedro Díaz, coordinator of the earth and atmosphere observation group at the University of La Laguna, advocates strategic plans that allow us to face the negative aspects. A study by the University of La Laguna estimates that droughts will affect ninety percent of the Canary Islands at the end of the century, due to the increase in temperatures, which will more significantly affect the islands with greater relief, according to Juan Pedro Díaz. , coordinator of the earth and atmosphere observation group at the University of La Laguna. A "complicated" situation The reduction in rainfall will be very pronounced and will also affect more intensely the areas of greatest relief, where there is important flora and the situation will be "complicated." They will be 30% lower than those registered to date. Díaz considers it "very complicated" to reverse this situation and calls for betting on strategic mitigation and adaptation plans to confront the negative aspects. He believes that we should not wait any longer to accumulate as much information as possible and begin to face changes that are not "easy at all." Local studio Díaz highlights the value of this study because global models are not useful for the Canary Islands due to their generality, and in the case of the islands they must be done in a more detailed way. An ITER supercomputer has been used under the coordination of the Government of the Canary Islands.
