The public petition launched by Mais Pinhal has passed the number of signatures required for debate in the Portuguese Parliament. We demand the immediate suspension of clear-cutting in the Ovar Dunes Forest Perimeter, an independent investigation into the current Forest Management Plan, and a new plan drawn up in public discussion with citizens and experts.
In parallel, the association is preparing a complaint to the European Commission over non-compliance with the environmental directives that apply to this territory.
