The Municipality of Braga has engaged in several initiatives focused on urban renaturalization and ecosystem management. As part of the European (Re)Natured Cities project, the city presented urban interventions in Denmark, specifically the Camellia Park and the renaturalization of the Este River, to showcase solutions for biodiversity and urban resilience.

Building on these efforts, the Ministry of Environment and Energy and the Braga City Council signed a protocol to launch the “Braga Restaura” program. This initiative serves as a national pilot for Portugal’s National Nature Restoration Plan. The program aims to create replicable models for other municipalities by recovering ecosystems and protecting biodiversity. Key upcoming projects include the recovery of the Este River banks and interventions within the Green Ring of Braga, Bom Jesus, Sameiro, and Sete Fontes.
