LIFE SNAILS participates in the 7th Environment Fair

July 2, 2025

Between 3 and 5 June, the 7th edition of the Environment Fair took place at the Terceira Island Youth and Arts Academy (AJAIT), an initiative promoted by the Praia da Vitória City Council.

The event was attended by the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action, represented by the LIFE SNAILS and LIFE IP CLIMAZ projects.

During the three-day fair, more than 800 children, from preschool to 3rd grade, actively participated in various educational and environmental activities. The LIFE SNAILS project organised the workshop "Snails as Far as the Eye Can See", where, using an electronic magnifying glass, participants had the opportunity to observe a collection of various species of snails to provide a basis for comparison between the endemic species of the Azores, with emphasis on the malacofauna of Santa Maria, and the non-endemic species present in the Archipelago.
