ALIENSWATCH AND FUTURO PROJECT FIGHT AGAINST ALIEN SPECIES

ALIENSWATCH AND FUTURO PROJECT FIGHT AGAINST ALIEN SPECIES

The Regional Center of Excellence of Porto (CRE Porto), in the scope of the Futuro project, and the group AliensWatch, which includes several CIBIO-InBIO researchers, will take along an array of initiatives aiming to avoid the spreading of the alien species Baccharis spicatta throughout Portugal and eventually Europe. This Southern American species was detected last year in two distinct populations at Porto’s metropolitan area by CIBIO-InBIO researchers.
The main objective is to prevent the possible environmental, social and economic impact caused by this plant’s dispersal. By engaging the municipalities, the two organizations aim to structure effective education and management actions.
