Completion of the high altitude biological reserve fence

We are building an electric fence in the High Altitude Biological Reserve. This area has more than 10ha large and it is used in the scope of the project by agreement with the "Comisssão dos Baldios" (The committee for the management of the public lands).


The grazing of the cattle in this area destroyed the natural vegetation cover, and the fence that we had in place so far still had some places where the cattle could get in.
This fence with more than 2 km long is being improved and will prevent the entrance of the cattle and thus protect the recovery of the vegetation.


The works are going at a good rhythm and we hope to close the area in a few days.
