The Center for Environmental Interpretation and Awareness (CISA) is located within Boticas Parque, in the locality of Vilar e Viveiro, municipality of Boticas. This positioning places the center in a predominantly natural environment, characteristic of the Boticas landscape, providing a tranquil setting conducive to contact with nature and observation of the surrounding environment.
CISA is dedicated to understanding the biodiversity present in the region's rivers and watercourses. Its central focus is on one particular species: the freshwater pearl mussel, scientifically known as Margaritifera margaritifera. This freshwater bivalve is a remarkable inhabitant of river ecosystems and holds significant ecological importance, being a species protected by the Convention on the Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural Habitats.
A visit to CISA offers the opportunity to deepen knowledge about Boticas' natural values. The space was designed to illustrate the importance of protecting wildlife and its habitats, giving particular attention to species that depend on aquatic environments. It is a place that invites reflection on nature conservation and the importance of preserving the balance of local ecosystems.
