The event, taking place at the Palácio do Infantado in Samora Correia on October 29, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM, aims to gather municipalities, Central Administration entities, academics, and civil society and animal protection organizations. The goal is to create a space for dialogue and exchange of experiences among various stakeholders in animal welfare.
During the forum, crucial topics such as national public policies, available municipal support, best municipal practices, and population control and sterilization strategies will be addressed. The coordination between local government, central government, academia, and field organizations will also be a central point of discussion.
This initiative seeks to foster greater knowledge and best practice sharing, encourage cooperation among different entities, and strengthen dialogue on the challenges and opportunities in animal welfare governance. The Municipality of Benavente thus reaffirms its commitment to promoting exemplary municipal practices and building a more coordinated and effective intervention.
