The BioEcoTur project is a collaborative initiative that brings together municipalities from Madeira, the Azores, Canary Islands, and Cape Verde. Its primary focus is to enhance biodiversity while promoting green and blue infrastructure. This initiative aligns with environmental protection, sustainability, and responsible tourism development.

The project facilitates cooperation among islands to share best practices and innovative solutions for eco-friendly tourism. It also seeks to balance tourism growth with environmental preservation.

The seminar in Pico provided a platform for participants to discuss strategies and experiences in promoting biodiversity and sustainable tourism. Such initiatives are crucial for Madeira, known for its stunning natural landscapes and rich biodiversity, to maintain its appeal as a leading tourist destination while preserving its unique environment.
