Target: Mr. Eduardo Cabrita, Minister of Internal Administration of Portugal
Goal: Advocate for the protection of the European otter, which is threatened by habitat loss and pollution.
The European otter, a native species to Portugal, is currently facing significant threats from habitat loss and pollution. This beloved animal, known for its playful and curious nature, is an important part of the country’s biodiversity and ecosystem. However, its populations have been declining due to the degradation and loss of its wetland habitats, as well as exposure to pollutants from agriculture, industry, and domestic sewage.
Urgent action must be taken to protect the European otter and its habitat. Without proper protection and management, this species may face extinction in the near future. It is essential that the Portuguese government takes steps to safeguard the remaining populations of the European otter and work towards restoring degraded habitats to promote their recovery.
Help protect the European otter and its habitat to ensure the survival of this beloved animal and maintain a healthy and diverse ecosystem in Portugal.
