The municipality of São Brás de Alportel celebrated this Saturday, June 5th, World Environment Day, with several initiatives to raise awareness about the importance of preserving and protecting the environment and the planet.
São Brás raises awareness of biodiversity conservation on World Environment Day
It was in the Parque das Amendoeiras that, in an adapted and symbolic way, the Municipal Biodiversity Preservation Strategy was presented, which is already underway.
An example of this plan is the installation of awareness boards for areas where vegetation is being maintained, in order to facilitate the work of pollinating the bees.
«The objective of maintaining spontaneous vegetation, favorable to pollination, is to create a favorable environment and resources (pollen, nectar and essential oils) for pollinating insects, namely bees», says the Chamber of São Brás de Alportel.
With this measure, the municipality intends to contribute to the global problem of bee population decline.
In order to fix different species of birds, the Municipality of São Brás de Alportel has been placing nests in various green spaces, schools and other facilities.
Quinta do Peral, as a space for interpretation and environmental education, also promoted, during the morning, a set of awareness-raising activities, aimed at young people, on the importance of protecting the environment and the sustainability of the planet.
In this space, an insect hotel can be visited, with different niches and materials available to house different species of insects. The planting of species beneficial to pollinators is still being considered.
