The LIFE SNAILS project continues informal environmental awareness in the Azores

May 19, 2026

The LIFE SNAILS project, coordinated by the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action, reinforces its commitment to raising public awareness, involving people of different ages and educational backgrounds in a common mission: to know, value and protect the unique biodiversity of the Azores.

Through environmental education actions and close contact with the population, the project promotes knowledge about the endemic snails of Santa Maria island — rare and fragile species, unique to this territory, which play an essential role in local ecosystems.

The preservation of these snails depends directly on the quality of their habitats. Therefore, LIFE SNAILS continues to focus on environmental restoration as the central axis of its intervention.
