Last March, the MacRisk project held its final workshop and invited the LIFE BEETLES project to present its intervention areas on Terceira island.
Although the weather conditions weren’t ideal, it was possible to visit the habitat conversion work in the former eucalyptus grove, which is an example of good practice in nature conservation and arthropod protection.
The LIFE BEETLES project, coordinated by the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action, has collaborated with the MacRisk project since it began in 2021, contributing data on the diversity of arthropod populations.
The biotic monitoring used to assess the impact of the LIFE BEETLES project’s actions on endemic fauna has enabled the MacRisk project to carry out analyses to assess the risk of extinction of endemic arthropod species.
This collaboration has been essential for deepening our knowledge of the future of the LIFE BEETLES project’s target species and understanding how actions on the ground can positively impact their long-term survival.
