It is the last relief in the north-east of Portugal that still belongs to the north-west of the Peninsula and borders the Iberian Meseta, and is part of the Natura 2000 network. The objectives of the projects to be developed are to monitor and further study climate change, as well as to develop mitigation measures and actions in good time.
