The Galician Atlantic Islands National Park is replicating the LIFE INSULAR methodology for the removal of senescent stands of large, invasive tree species that significantly impact the conservation status of natural habitats.
In this way, eucalyptus stands are being removed on the North Island (Monteagudo) of the Cíes archipelago by manual removal, without the use of herbicides, given the fragility of island environments, which makes their use inadvisable.
This action improves the conservation status of natural habitats, promotes the complementarity of the LIFE program with other funds, and increases the impact of the elimination of invasive species carried out by LIFE INSULAR by promoting its catalytic potential through the application of its methods in other territories or contexts.
