IFCN – Instituto das Florestas e Conservação da Natureza, IP-RAM
IFCN is the public institute responsible for forest management and nature conservation in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. It runs a wildlife emergency line and oversees protected natural areas.
The Instituto das Florestas e Conservação da Natureza, IP-RAM (IFCN) is the public body in charge of forests and nature conservation in Madeira. Based at Quinta Vila Passos in Funchal, it oversees the region's woodlands, protected areas and native species.
IFCN runs a dedicated phone line, 'SOS Vida Selvagem', for reporting injured or endangered wildlife. Its remit spans forest management, biodiversity protection and the upkeep of Madeira's natural parks, an important part of the island's landscape and tourism appeal.
As a regional public institute (IP-RAM), IFCN operates under the Madeira regional government. Details on its programmes, staff and current initiatives are limited, since its main website has been inaccessible during data collection. Contact is possible by phone, at 291 145 199, or by email through the regional government's helpdesk.
Our Goal
IFCN manages forests and protects nature across Madeira, covering conservation, wildlife protection and the region's natural parks.
