Controlling them is therefore essential to the success of the ecological restoration of this habitat, contributing to its long-term recovery and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This work is particularly important not only for the protection of the native and protected herbaceous plants found at Lagoa dos Cubres, but also to ensure the success of the reintroduction programmes for endemic flora that have been implemented over the years as part of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The control of invasive species is an ongoing, long-term process, essential for consolidating the results achieved and ensuring favourable conditions for the conservation of native flora in its natural habitat. With the financial support of the LIFE Programme of the European Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"26405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-7-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-7.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"26403\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-4-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-4-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-4-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-4-2.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"26411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-1-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-1-3-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-1-3-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifeazoresnatura.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Image-1-3-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":26408,"template":"","class_list":["post-26410","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
