The invasive flora species have a strong dispersion ability, being very competitive and able to put at risk the biodiversity of ecosystems in which they are present.
It is the case of Ribeira do Fundรฃo (stream), a ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฃ๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ต that was highly rundown and where the Ironclad Beetle lives, endemic to the island of Flores.
The Government of the Azores has started a great effort to recover these ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฃ๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ต through invasive flora removal actions, such as this example carried out by the LIFE BEETLES project, with very positive results, as demonstrated with this intervention.
