Oeiras symposium on forest restoration set for 26 November 2026

Researchers, institutional representatives and specialists will gather at the ITQB NOVA auditorium in Oeiras on 26 November 2026, from 13:30 to 18:00, for a symposium on nature restoration in forest ecosystems, organised by the journal Silva Lusitana. The event ties in with the EU Nature Restoration Regulation, which aims to restore at least 20% of EU land and sea areas by 2030. The programme covers policy and targets, indicators and monitoring, restoration techniques, governance, costs, certification and training, alongside Portuguese case studies. Scientific knowledge of native forest ecosystems is meant to underpin how restoration results are measured.
