Santander Capital Natural (SCN)
PRTR Call for Proposals Project
The project includes transformative actions such as the lifting of asphalt and concrete areas to turn them into green areas, the naturalization of school playgrounds or the creation of urban mini-forests and the installation of wildlife refuges to contribute to conserving and increasing biodiversity. It also focuses on the ecological restoration of degraded urban and peri-urban spaces, through the elimination of invasive alien species and revegetation.
