Covas do Barroso, in the council of Boticas, is experiencing days of uncertainty given the continuity of prospection works related to the possible lithium exploration. The situation is described by environmentalist Carlos Dobreia, who reports on a scenario marked by the contrast between the community's daily life and the operations taking place in the territory. The environmentalist expresses concern about the impact these activities may have on the region and the lives of its inhabitants, stating that the community faces a period of uncertainty regarding the future of the territory. Carlos Dobreia has been closely monitoring the situation and warns about the consequences that the prospection works may bring to the area, where operations are underway as part of lithium resource investigation.
