This seminar aims to foster transdisciplinary debate about the proliferation of eucalyptus in Portugal. It is intended to contribute to the creation of social self-awareness and to change the way the policies and practices of planting and conserving Portuguese forests are seen. A fruitful space for dialogue will be created to reflect on the need to protect Portugal’s soil, biodiversity, and culture. There will be a round table with guest speakers and, after a break with access to the Botanical Garden, an interactive part with the public.

Seminar open to everyone!
