Vimaranense Climate Action for the Reduction of the Ecological Footprint
The VIMACT project – Vimaranense Climate Action for the Reduction of the Ecological Footprint – joined the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda – SDG 13 – “take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”.
The main objective of the project was to increase biodiversity and, consequently, the biocapacity of Vimaranense, through the renaturalization and restoration of the landscape of the Penha Mountain. We involved civil society, promoting public participation and raising awareness about the need to reduce the individual Ecological Footprint. The actions included a set of theoretical and practical trainings, the construction of a permanent waterhole, next to the future Birdwatching Centre, and the reinforcement of the ecological forest corridor in Montanha da Penha.
