Our Space

Located in the parish of Gradil, in the municipality of Mafra, about 30 km from Lisbon, this Center occupies 18 hectares in a wooded and isolated valley. With good vegetation cover and heterogeneous topography, it provides the resident wolves with good shelter and refuge conditions. Currently there are eleven enclosures in the CRLI, occupying a total area of ​​4.49 hectares.

Most of the CRLI area, initially forested with eucalyptus, is currently, and mostly, forested with native species, primarily of the genus Quercus. Annually, the undergrowth is cleared from the planted areas and, when necessary, the plantations are thinned, taking into account the greater success of their development and also the reduction of fire risk.
