The LIFE projects coordinated by the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Change, namely VIDALIA, IP AZORES NATURA, BEETLES and IP CLIMAZ, participated on the Regional Council for the Environment and Sustainable Development (CRADS) to present the current status of the projects, regarding the protection and recognition of the Region’s natural heritage.

The CRADS is a consultative body in which several departments of public administration are present, as well as various associations and non-governmental entities, also constituting the Advisory Board of the LIFE projects for monitoring and advising on the implementation of projects.
