In Portugal, project activities will take place in two areas designated by the two partner organizations. ANP|WWF project activities will be implemented in the Boticas municipality in northern Portugal. This is a predominantly rural area (5000-10000 residents in 323 km2), located in between two important protected areas and Natura 2000 sites but outside of them. It is also part of the Barroso Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral System, which is classified as a FAO Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System. ANP|WWF would like to raise awareness and launch community actions of ecological restoration and this area is well suited for that, as they already have an ecological restoration project running there, which can be showcased.
