The environmental organization has been monitoring throughout the year several green areas of Portugal.
Since the beginning of 2014 that Quercus has carried out an assessment of protected areas of mainland Portugal, using a simplified model of analysis of various forces. The method used makes a diagnosis of what positive and negative has been made since the creation date of the creation of the protected area and an appropriate prognostic scenarios to ensure the conservation of habitats and species. Altogether have been monitored 25 landscapes, parks and protected areas of our country. The diagnosis, however, is not limited to characterize the strengths and weaknesses inherent, due in most cases to direct human intervention, it proposes sustainable solutions that could further catapult the environmental component of these green areas, together with a possible economic potential of these protected areas in the near future and subsequentemete improving the quality of life of the local population . Interestingly one of the most recurrent findings throughout the report is the introduction of exotic species in the various habitats with very negative consequences not only for the local fauna, as for the endemic flora. Another common point is the systematic loss of autochthonous forest, due in some cases to fire, but also the disorderly urban pressure that instead of bringing benefits to their regions ultimately discourage sustainable tourism of these protected areas. Another aspect to consider is the environmental education of the population, though, has made improvements to this level is still much lower than expected.
