This morning the former-advanced from the national soccer team, and ambassador of the Tourism of the Azores, visited the project that aims to protect the Priolo, one of the most threatened birds in Europe. With this visit Pedro Pauleta formally supports the international campaign of crowdfunding that is taking place and pointing out the enormous urgency in keeping one of the biggest efforts of conservation of biodiversity in the country.
The visit started in the Priolo's Enveronmental Center (CAP), in the Forest and recreation Park of Cancela do Cinzeiro in the Pedreira, Nordeste, where Pauleta had the chance of fraternizing with over 50 students from the school of São Vicente Ferreira, municipality of Ponta Delgada, whom were participating on several activities with the help of SPEA's technicians in the CAP.
Due to the bad weather it was not possible to visit the project areas, however, Pauleta visited the project's greenhouse in Lomba do Loução having there the chance to get to know most of the Projects team. In addition to that, Pedro Pauleta had time to plant an endemic plant produced in the project's greenhouse, accompanied by the field team of the Life Laurel Forest and a group of students from the Basic and Secondary School of Povoação that were participating in a volunteer action in the Project's greenhouse.
We want to thank the presence of Pedro Pauleta and the interest and support demonstrated during this visit. Soon we hope to carry out activities with the Pauleta's Foundation.
