One of the main constraints to the ecological restoration of dune habitats are invasive exotic species, especially the beach weevil and acacias. The presence of these invasive species puts the resilience of these valuable dune habitats at risk, as well as competing directly with endemic species, some of which are classified as endangered in the Red Book of the Vascular Flora of Portugal. This activity aims to replicate some of the ecological restoration actions of the Zimbral for life project in the municipality of Odemira.

This initiative is promoted by the Municipality of Odemira in partnership with Rewilding Sudoeste - Associação de Desenvolvimento da Natureza e Ambiente, as part of the Blue Flag Program, whose theme for 2025 is "Restoring Nature".

    Sul.co

    At the tip of the Canal, between the road and the Atlantic, to the SOUTH.CO kicks off with a night of house, electro, minimal, and breaks, carefully curated and played one track after another. KaMpfumo opens at 10 p.m., Octo takes over at midnight, and Gazco follows starting at 2 a.m. Some people dance as if they were tearing fabric: without ceremony, but with precision. The needle drops, the bass hits the floor, and the body feels it before the mind does. In the Alentejo, even haste learns to dance sideways.
