More eucalyptus planted in 2017 despite law change

Eucalyptus plantations continue to expand in Portugal, according to the environmental organisation Quercus, despite a government pledge to halt the expansion of the species and a law change.

The National Association for the Conservation of Nature, (Quercus) along with the Association for the Promotion of Forest Investment, (Acréscimo), say the number of licences issued actually has increased, despite commitments made by the current Government.
