Nature Park of Terceira, Protected natural area in Terceira Island, Portugal
The Nature Park of Terceira extends across 22 percent of the island, containing diverse ecosystems from coastal zones to volcanic formations and dense forests.
The park received official designation through legislative decree No. 11/2011/A in April 2011, restructuring the protection of Azorean natural environments.
Traditional farming methods remain active in specific zones of the park, demonstrating the sustainable relationship between local communities and the natural environment.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails throughout the park, with ranger stations and interpretive centers providing detailed information about local flora and fauna.
The park functions as a research site for bat populations, including studies of the Azorean bat and Madeiran bat species that inhabit the protected zones.
