Invitation to the 2nd GATHERING FOR THE FORESTS, our National Regenerative Convergence

The recent events with fires at national level, water issues, soils and a whole front of consequences, which are manifesting themselves and which are based on a fundamental principle of ecosystem rehabilitation, to be able to bridge or compensate for all the damage done .

This situation of fires also marks two patterns that have been happening in recent decades and which this time stand out for the social impact created, that is, the panorama of fires happens annually and more intensely in a cyclical manner, according to the entities and organizations in Portugal, work separately, without articulating sufficient efforts for the scale of the problems faced, so from a social point of view, a window of opportunities for intervention, changing paradigms and contributing as citizens to active change is now open.

Considered in a global context, the reasonable number of dispersed initiatives and which, as such, disperse efforts and strength, and from my personal point of view, the possibility and willingness to help everyone, leads me to bump into physical impossibility.
For these main reasons, We launch here a challenge and invitation, for a weekend at the facilities of a regenerative project, in which we offer accommodation and infrastructures, for a meeting between those responsible or promoters of these movements, in order to be able to elaborate or to initiate a national strategy for territorial management, to increase biodiversity, traditional polycultural landscapes, indigenous and sustainable forest, which ends up having consequences also from the human point of view, occupation of land and fields, social dynamics, etc.
