Exhibition “Lince-Ibérico na Península” | CIMBAL – LIFE Lynxconnect
Casa dos Condes – Biblioteca Municipal Carlos Brito, Rua 1º de maio, em Alcoutim
Exhibition developed by CIMBAL, a partner in the LIFE Lynxconnect project, with the technical and scientific support of the Institute for Nature and Forest Conservation (ICNF).
The exhibition aims to make Spanish and Portuguese society aware of the work that has been done, is ongoing and will be developed, in the near future, within the scope of the conservation of the Iberian Lynx, whose itinerancy has passed through the 13 municipalities that make up CIMBAL – Intermunicipal Community of Baixo Alentejo, and by two of the three municipalities in the Algarve (Tavira and Silves). Alcoutim welcomes the exhibition from the 8th to the 30th of November, at Casa dos Condes – Carlos Brito Municipal Library, located on Rua 1º de Maio, in Alcoutim. The inauguration will take place on November 9th, at 4pm and will be entertained by comedian Jorge Serafim.
«The political, administrative, technical and scientific collaboration and articulation developed jointly between Portugal and Spain, since 2004, which allowed the number of Iberian lynx in freedom to be surpassed by 2022, would not have the widely recognized success at a world, if it had not been preceded and accompanied by a strong awareness and involvement of populations, local officials and society in general, including the media», concludes the ICNF.
