Conservation work is continuing on the island of Faial as part of the LIFE IP AZORES NATURA project, coordinated by the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action, with further plantings of endemic species having been carried out.

At Porto de Castelo Branco, 29 Azorina vidalii plants were planted, whilst 65 Rumex azoricus plants were introduced into the Cabeço dos Trinta Micro-reserve.

These plantings, carried out as part of Action C3.2 ‘In-situ Conservation’ of the LIFE IP AZORES NATURA project, contribute to the protection of species and the restoration of priority natural habitats in the Azores.

With the financial support of the LIFE Programme of the European Union.
