In the LIFE Global project, as a guarantee to avoid possible damage, no chemical products (herbicides, photochemicals) are used in its control. Therefore, the removal of this plant is carried out strictly by hand.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the environmental volunteering day, 700 kilos of Carpobrotus edulis were manually removed, which were managed through the municipal corporation with an authorised waste manager.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex
