Were pleasantly surprised to see the iceplant blooming all at once in the succulent section of the conservatory.

For two years now we've been fighting invasives on the vertical slopes of these wonderful sea cliffs. In this video we tell you all about our battles and why we are trying to save these unique plants.

🔎 ABOUT THIS PROJECT

===============================

On a stunning 15 km stretch of Portuguese coast two special cliff plants found nowhere else on earth are facing extinction. The main threat comes from a dominating invasive species carpeting the cliff called the ‘ice plant’. Access to the sheer cliff faces poses a challenge for their conservation. This is why we’ve gathered local rock climbers and cavers, passionate about local biodiversity, to remove the invasive ice plant. We’re also using drone technology to document changes to the vegetation. Protecting these precious plants not only reduces biodiversity loss but treasures nature in all its glorious forms.
