As part of the work carried out on the island of Flores by LIFE IP AZORES NATURA, the team from the Regional Directorate for the Environment and Climate Action identified a new individual of Euphrasia azorica in peak flowering, located near the project’s intervention area.

This point was not in the existing database, which represents a significant contribution to the knowledge and monitoring of this endemic species of the Azores, considered of great importance for the conservation of the Archipelago’s biodiversity.

This action is part of action C3 – Implementation of pilot work for the conservation of endemic flora (in-situ and ex-situ conservation) of the LIFE IP AZORES NATURA project, reinforcing the importance of this type of intervention for the protection and enhancement of endemic and protected flora.
