Wetlands are among the richest and most productive ecosystems in the world in terms of biological diversity, with water being their structuring element.
\nHowever, they are very sensitive places that are seriously threatened worldwide by pollution, urbanization and industrialization, intensification of agriculture, fishing and fish farming, among other actions undertaken by populations, so their protection and proper management is essential. In the Azores there are 13 wetlands of international importance, classified under the “Ramsar Convention”, designated as Ramsar Sites.
\nThe Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Change is aware of this problem, carrying out several restoration, preservation and monitoring actions in these ecosystems, namely through the LIFE IP AZORES NATURA project.
\nAn example of this is the conservation action “Good practices for conservation of terrestrial habitats”, which consists of restoration and improvement interventions, namely in peat bogs and coastal lagoons.
\nThis Regional Secretariat has also established partnerships with the Observatory of the Azores Environment – Angra do Hero\u00edsmo Science Centre and with the Santa Catarina Institute to carry out environmental awareness activities in the scope of this commemoration, thus promoting a wide and concerted participation with other entities in the Region.
\nIn this sense, we invite you to participate in the activities that will take place next Saturday:<\/p>\n
