June 12, 2025
After centuries of absence, evidence of the presence of the European beaver (Castor fibre) in Portuguese territory has finally emerged, following monitoring by Rewilding Portugal in a border area with Spain.

The LIFE WolFlux project received funding from the European Union’s LIFE Programme.

The LIFE programme is the European Union’s funding instrument for the environment and climate action, created in 1992. Every year, the European Commission, which manages the LIFE programme, launches a call for proposals and, on the basis of criteria that take into account the multiannual strategic programme and national priorities, determines which of the proposed projects can benefit from financial support from the LIFE programme and regularly publishes a list of these projects.
