THE PROCREATION PERIOD OF THE SPECIES HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST FRUITFUL.

In other areas of the Canary Islands, like La Gomera, An attempt has been made to find a positive solution to the plague that is devastating the Canary Islands.. This commitment involves including the eggs of this species in gastronomy..

However, while the long-spiked hedgehog congeals the idea, the diadem of the Antilles, It continues its expansion, leaving enormous sterile whitish patches on the seabed.. The hedgehog's voracious appetite destroys any remaining life., not having food, ends up leaving the place.

Rosa Godoy stated that she does not have any response that materializes in concrete actions but rather in words of good intentions..
