The LIFE BEETLES project visited the LIFE SNAILS project, a nature conservation project dedicated to the conservation of three species of endemic land snails, on the island of Santa Maria, in which the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action is the coordinating beneficiary.

During this visit, it was possible to explore the intervention areas and monitor the nature conservation work carried out to date. There was also place for sharing and exchanging experiences, regarding the monitoring work of the project's target species, with an opportunity for discussion about the field methodologies and protocols to be followed.

This visit is part of action E.2.
