From science to action: the key themes of the LIFE SNAILS Final Conference

Oct. 20, 2026

The LIFE SNAILS Final Conference, coordinated by the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action, is organised around thematic areas that reflect the work carried out throughout the project and some of the main challenges facing nature conservation in island environments.

Over two days, national and international experts will share knowledge, experiences and findings relating to:

- Conservation of threatened endemic species

- Habitat restoration and control of invasive species

- Environmental education and awareness-raising

- Volunteering and conservation-focused tourism

The sessions will bring together complementary perspectives, from scientific research and biodiversity monitoring to community engagement and on-the-ground conservation action.

Over the coming days, we will highlight each thematic block and some of the topics featured during the conference.

Come and discover the work being carried out and the challenges facing biodiversity conservation in the Azores at the LIFE SNAILS project’s Final Conference.

Data: 5 and 6 November
