Portugal has been fined millions for failing to adequately protect several rare and endangered species, including the gold-striped salamander, griffon vulture, Iberian spiny lizard, wolf, and the natterjack toad, among others. Despite having years to implement necessary conservation measures, the country did not take sufficient action, leading to the penalty. The case highlights ongoing concerns about Portugal's commitment to biodiversity preservation.
