BIODIVERSITY
Owing to humans occupying the territory of Portugal for thousands of years, little is left of
the original vegetation. Protected areas of Portugal include one national park (Portuguese:
Parque Nacional), 12 natural parks (Portuguese: Parque Natural), nine natural reserves
(Portuguese: Reserva Natural), five natural monuments (Portuguese: Monumento Natural),
and seven protected landscapes (Portuguese: Paisagem Protegida), which include the Parque
Nacional da Peneda-Gerês, the Parque Natural da Serra da Estrela and the Paul de Arzila.
These natural environments are shaped by diverse flora, and include widespread species of
pine (especially the Pinus pinaster and Pinus pinea species), the chestnut (Castanea sativa),
the cork-oak (Quercus suber), the holm oak (Quercus ilex), the Portuguese oak (Quercus
faginea), and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus). All are prized for their economic value.
