In our view, it would be more useful to choose a variety of tree species: arbutus certainly, as well as olive, carob, cork-oak and almond trees \u2013 trees that are difficult to burn and which bring other benefits. For example, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><i>quercus canariensis<\/i><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">, the Monchique oak.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The more diverse the tree species and the more useful they are for the day-to-day needs of a farmer or forester, the more sensible and valuable sustainable reforestation will be.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">Or conversely: the lower the yield of a tree species that is, at the same time, highly flammable, the more pointless reforestation will be. For this reason, the correct choice of tree species for reforestation is crucial. It is also important to take into account the water consumption of each species in the area where it is planted.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-76144\" src=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/valores-carbono-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/valores-carbono-768x338.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/valores-carbono-24x11.jpg 24w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/valores-carbono-36x16.jpg 36w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/valores-carbono-95x42.jpg 95w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/valores-carbono.jpg 1272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>We must constantly ask ourselves: <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>why are we planting a tree?<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The adoption of the Scots pine as the tree species of choice is an outdated solution. This species was chosen in the last century because it provided the timber needed for the construction of fishing boats. The tree provided timber for shipbuilding at the Portim\u00e3o shipyards and could be replanted and then felled again after two generations. (We already have a pine forest on our doorstep, planted in 1905, which is now 121 years old.)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">We should plant a forest capable of withstanding the current challenges of climate change. We know that maritime pines pose a risk of increasing the spread of forest fires.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><span lang=\"pt-BR\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-1437\" src=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-5-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"oliveira\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-5-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/03-5.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span>As far as reforestation is concerned, our aim is to select species whose fruits are suitable for traditional processing.

As the price of a plot of land increases, so too does the interest in its use and preservation.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><b>Actively preventing forest fires.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-71966 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/Sprinkler-in-Action-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sprinkler-in-Action-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eco123.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sprinkler-in-Action-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>When we talk about protection in the municipality of Monchique, we are referring to the active management of forested areas, which can create and secure jobs. A group of people \u2013 be it a family, a company, an association or a cooperative \u2013 actively looks after the forested area \u2013 every day. New plantations are not just simply planted and left to their own devices; they are also actively protected against the risk of further forest fires, for example through a sprinkler system and the collection and storage of water reserves (rainwater) in cisterns.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">We approach reforestation from a different perspective, particularly with regard to the protection of nature and property, but we are also concerned with the many opportunities that reforestation presents for creating traditional and meaningful employment.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span lang=\"en-GB\">The aim is to transform non-forested land into a new, resilient forested area, with an estimated sequestration of a considerable amount of CO\u2082 over future generations (an average of 14 tons per hectare each year). As well as carbon sequestration, the project aims to contribute to forest restoration, the protection of the soil against erosion, the conservation of biodiversity and water resources, and the revitalisation of the local rural economy. <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">And shade is everything; without it, nothing else matters.
