LIFE SNAILS attends the meeting of the Council for Sustainable Development

April 23, 2026

The LIFE SNAILS project attended the fifth meeting of the Regional Council for the Environment and Sustainable Development (CRADS), held in Ponta Delgada. During this meeting, the LIFE projects coordinated by the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action presented the main progress achieved and the nature conservation actions currently underway in the Azores archipelago.

Within the scope of LIFE SNAILS, particular emphasis was placed on the monitoring and conservation of endemic terrestrial gastropods, as well as the efforts made to restore their natural habitats. The session also provided an opportunity to share challenges, exchange experiences between projects and discuss strategies to strengthen biodiversity protection and the resilience of island ecosystems.

Participation in CRADS reinforces the importance of collaboration between organisations, contributing to the continuous improvement of conservation actions and to the promotion of sustainable development in the Azores.
