Results “are promising and will make a very positive contribution to the Portuguese forest”, Green Savers

rePLANT is a technological project that brings together companies, universities and research centers to enhance and defend the forest. We spoke to Alexandra Marques, the project’s director and ForestWISE representative, and José Luís Carvalho, rePLANT co-leader and Navigator representative, about the results presented recently.

“The results of this project are promising and will make a very positive contribution to the Portuguese forest, whether in terms of productivity, resilience or knowledge.
