Salvar a praia… ou lembrá-la em fotografias?
Na Lourinhã, as praias do Areal Sul e da Areia Branca enfrentam uma ameaça crescente e silenciosa: a destruição do cordão lunar. Entre a força inevitável do mar e a pressão constante humana, estas barreiras naturais estão a desaparecer. Em resposta, decorre uma intervenção de recuperação ambiental que visa travar o avanço da degradação. Mas será suficiente? Estaremos a tempo de inverter esta destruição?
The heart of Lourinhã
The Lourinhã region is the richest area in Portugal in terms of fossil record. This makes it a very important region for understanding the history of Earth and where we may be headed.

From dinosaurs with feathers to the human impact on ecosystems, paleontology helps fit the pieces of the biggest puzzle of the modern era – how can climate change alter the course of history?
