Companhia das Lezírias has had its forest management certified by international standards since September 27, 2010 (certificate SA – FM / COC – 002659).
This certification demonstrates the sustainability of its forest management to the Company, its customers, and its employees. This public recognition is particularly important, given that Companhia das Lezírias protects a territory with highly important resources.
It is this forest that supports habitats and many species, particularly birds, which justifies why a significant part of the “Companhia” (of which 5,000 ha are forest) is included in the Special Protection Zone and the Site that will be part of the Natura 2000 network.

Eleven more species from other animal classes have been identified. Of these, the following have conservation status:

Recent flora surveys have already identified 335 species of vascular plants in a total of 59 families. Of these, the presence of a species with conservation status, Thymus capitellatus, and a rare species, Elatine brochonii, are noteworthy.
Below, several documents related to the certification process are made available to the public, providing information on various relevant aspects of forest and hunting management carried out.
