This area consists of a forest of about 5000 common eucalyptus (ππΆπ€π’ππΊπ±π΅πΆπ΄ π¨ππ°π£πΆππΆπ΄) that can reach 14 metres in height. Here it is possible to find an understorey filled with native plants and a great diversity of mosses and lichens. For its potential, the LIFE BEETLES intends to reconvert this site into a native forest, helping to increase the quantity and quality of the natural habitat of the Terceira island’s endemic beetle, target species of the project: ππ³π¦π€π©πΆπ΄ π΅π¦π³π³π’π£π³π’π·π¦π―π΄πͺπ΄.
This way, the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Change proceed to the selective cutting of eucalyptus in the intervention area of the Algar do CarvΓ£o eucalyptus forest, through a specialised team for this purpose, as foreseen in Action C2: Pilot works for increasing habitat connectivity for Trechus terrabravensis under a climate change context, of the LIFE BEETLES project.
