LIFE BEETLES | Intervention Areas

April 6, 2021

This intervention area is located in the Natural Reserve of Serra de Santa Bárbara. The area is characterized by a native forest, representing one of the natural habitats of Trechus terrabravensis, endemic beetle of Terceira Island. Since the access to this area is quite complex and time consuming, the pristine conditions of the area are still quite well preserved. Within the scope of the LIFE BEETLES project, it is intended to identify potential invasive alien species (IAS) outbreaks and act effectively in maintaining the native conditions of TER2.
