reducto

English translation: pockets / areas of lush vegetation

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Construction / Civil Engineering / environment protection
Spanish term or phrase: reducto
Context:
El jalonamiento de la obra impedirá afectar a mayor superficie, incluso en los reductos de vegetación natural que pudieran ser un refugio importante para la fauna de la zona.

The only meaning of "reducto" I found belongs to the military field. Is there any other possibility in this context?

Thank you.

Hi Anna,

Or slightly more literally "strongholds", but I think this might be a bit too figurative for the text.

Good luck!
