Establishment of a network of plant micro-reserves on the Municipality of Funchal (Madeira, Portugal)

Abstract

This paper summarizes the results of a project developed at Funchal City Hall. The objectives were to obtain an inventory and cartography of the areas of natural or semi-natural vegetation cover in order to propose a network of micro-reserves of the local flora and vegetation (PMRs). The main objective was therefore to conserve the sites of ecological interest that still remain on the limits of the municipality of Funchal below 350 m a.s.l..
