Flora
The plants and vegetation of the urban forests of the metropolitan area are the most diverse on the island. Their conservation is extremely important and one of our best tools to battle climate change.
Other species in our urban forests
The estuary is home to a large number of native and migratory birds.
The birds are bioindicators of the health of our ecosystem. By conserving the habitats of the estuary, we ensure future generations will be able to enjoy them.
