Semana no Parque Ecológico do Funchal
Durante
esta semana vou desenvolver o meu serviço no Parque Ecológico do Funchal, no
âmbito do Projeto Puffinus. Os trabalhos desenvolvidos têm a ver com a
conservação da área de nidificação do Patagarro (Puffinus puffinus) com ações de combate de espécies vegetais
invasoras, e também com ações de controlo de predadores. Com estas ações
intenta-se que o patagarro continue a escolher as encostas da Ribeira de Santa
Luzia para fazer os seus ninhos. A partir da segunda quinzena de Janeiro
espera-se a chegada do patagarro, é por isso que os trabalhos em referência a
este projeto estam a ser mais intensos nesta altura.
Além,
na área do Parque desenvolvem-se ações de restauração do terreno que foi destruído pelos incêndios. Sementeira de espécies nativas e endémicas,
eliminação de indivíduos mortos, e estudo sobre o combate das espécies
invasoras são as ações principais na recuperação do ambiente natural do Parque.
Week in Funchal Ecological Park
During this week I will develop my service in Funchal Ecological Park, under Puffinus Project. The developed works have to do with conservation the nesting area of patagarro (Puffinus puffinus) with actions to combat invasive plant species, and also shares the control of predators. With these actions it intends that the patagarro continue to choose the slopes of Ribeira de Santa Luzia to make their nests. From the second half of January is expected the arrival of patagarro, which is why the work in reference to this project to be more intense this time.
In addition, in the park area are developed actions to restore the land that was destroyed by fire. Seeding of native and endemic species, removal of dead trees, and study on combating invasive species are the main actions in the recovery of the natural environment of the Park.
