A land between hills, streams and ocean
The GEC's work covers the land, freshwater, coastal and marine ecosystems of the municipality of Cascais and the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park.
This diversity of landscapes calls for fieldwork, monitoring of how the land is changing, and cooperation between citizens, associations and public bodies.
Conserve and restore
The GEC seeks to contribute to the conservation and restoration of marine and land fauna and flora. Cleaning up natural areas, field surveys on the Eco-Trails and the debate on ecological restoration are complementary parts of this work.
Participation is conservation too
Biodiversity is not protected by one-off actions alone. Public consultations, formal opinions, environmental education and civic movements help bring nature into decisions about the future of the municipality.
