ADN Madeira demands enforcement of Fanal's 3,000-visitor cap

The ADN Madeira party has demanded that the IFCN (Institute of Forests and Nature Conservation) release official visitor data for the Fanal forest and explain how it enforces the daily cap of 3,000 visitors. The demand follows reports of heavy crowds and vehicle congestion at the site. The party is asking for the number of visitors recorded on 28 August, peak attendance periods, entry and exit control mechanisms, and details of on-site enforcement. It argues that setting limits, installing signage or announcing measures without actual enforcement fails to protect the natural heritage site.
