Today we celebrate World Nature Conservation Day!

July 28, 2021

Created by the General Assembly of the United Nations, this day aims to draw attention to the problems of conservation of the natural heritage, recognizing that a healthy environment is fundamental for the quality of life and sustainability of our society, ensuring the well-being of present and future generations.

With this mission, the Regional Secretariat for Environment and Climate Change works daily for the conservation of nature in the Azores, through the various actions carried out by the projects LIFE VIDALIA, LIFE IP AZORES NATURA, LIFE BEETLES and LIFE CLIMAZ.

As an example we carried out the Zoom In: LIFE BEETLES macrophotography contest, which led the Azorean population to “observe closely” our insects, and today we were honoured to present the awards.

Congratulations to the winners and a special thanks to all contest participants and supporters!
