Environmentalists challenge approval of tangerine project in Alcácer do Sal

The environmental group Zero criticized the recent authorization granted to the revised tangerine planting project in the municipality of Alcácer do Sal. According to Zero, this decision represents a "gross error."

The approval has been labeled problematic in terms of its impact on water resources and biodiversity conservation. Environmentalists expressed that the project advances against the public interest.

Zero argues that the Environmental Impact Declaration (DIA) associated with the project should be reviewed. The organization claims that the potential environmental damage has not been adequately considered.

The planting proposal was presented as an economic initiative but faces resistance from various fronts lamenting the possible environmental consequences.

Environmentalists continue to warn of the need for broader debate on projects that could compromise ecological sustainability in the region.
