Over the years he has seen this region become increasingly desertified. In 2017 he did a PDC that changed the way he sees the world. He learned about rainwater harvesting during a reforestation project in Velez Blanco, Spain. The reforestation plan included the construction of hundreds of check dams along the gullies of the mountain. Ever since then he has been learning and implementing similar strategies in several locations in Portugal.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With Guilherme Weishar of Ecoativo (Portugal) Sunday 10th October, 4pm UK Time \/ 5pm CET Water is the most precious resource.
