The LIFE IP AZORES NATURA project team travelled to Corvo Island to prepare the implementation of action Pilot project for prevention, early warning and rapid response to Invasive Alien Species*. This action is being developed not only on Corvo Island, but also in La Palma, Canary Islands. 

During this week on Corvo Island, the team met with several entities whose support will be crucial for the success of the intervention, namely the elementary and secondary school Mouzinho da Silveira, the post office CTT – Correios de Portugal S.A., Azores Airlines, the Agrarian Development Service, the Manager of the public pasture lands of Corvo and the City Council of Vila do Corvo. Additionally, several events were organized to involve the public, including a walk to raise awareness among the island’s inhabitants regarding the issue of invasive species and identify the invasive flora in the vicinity of the village, and a public session to provide information on the planned interventions.
