Melgaço invests 660 thousand euros in projects with the aim of ensuring a good pursuit of sectoral policies aimed at nature conservation: habitats and species.

The aim is to protect biodiversity by preserving natural habitats, wild fauna and flora, while preserving the culture and traditions of the communities in the Biosphere Reserves. The “Biosphere Educational Plan”, concluded this year, is an example. Aimed at young people, its purpose was to promote awareness of the importance of nature conservation, in order to change perceptions, attitudes and behaviours towards biodiversity.

A section of Melgaço belongs to the Gerês-Xurés Transfrontier Biosphere Reserve and is inserted in the Peneda-Gerês National Park.
