The opposite slope, however, shows a significant Cork Oak (<em>Quercus suber<\/em>) area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Despite a past of intense soil use, the process of renaturalisation of the Pyrenean Oak (<em>Quercus pyrenaica<\/em>) woods and the association with holm-oaks and cork-oaks is already evident. The meadows are gradually recovering their floristic diversity, which is attracting greater numbers of insects, rabbits and partridges.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;14918&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;35px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Rewilding in the C\u00f4a Valley<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Ermo das \u00c1guias is a rewilding area, where <a href=\"https:\/\/rewilding-portugal.com\/sample-page-1-english\/ermo-das-aguias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Rewilding Portugal<\/strong><\/a> develops a management in favour of nature conservation through a rewilding approach.

Allowing this species to fulfil its functional role as a top predator is critical. In the southern part of this rewilding area, the ruins of an ancient &#8220;fojo&#8221;, an ancestral trap built in stone and used to capture wolves, attest to the once regular presence of this large carnivore.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15864&#8243; img_size=&#8221;400&#215;265&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15576&#8243; img_size=&#8221;400&#215;265&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15579&#8243; img_size=&#8221;400&#215;265&#8243; add_caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow_3d&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Local fauna<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Some of the region&#8217;s most emblematic birds regularly fly over the valley, such as the Griffon Vulture (<em>Gyps fulvus<\/em>), the Golden Eagle (<em>Aquila chrysaetos<\/em>) and the Black Stork (<em>Ciconia nigra<\/em>).
