Tamera na vanguarda do clima

June 26, 2019 Ana Margarida Esteves

A investigadora do CEI-IUL, Ana Margarida Esteves, foi ouvida pelo jornal Catalão El Periódico a propósito do impacto da comunidade de Tamera (objeto de estudo da investigadora) na captação de águas pluviais para combate à desertificação e, em geral, no ambiente na região do Alentejo onde se localiza.

Segundo a investigadora, “todas essas tecnologias foram inventadas em outros lugares, por exemplo, em universidades. Mas as eco-comunidades testam suas implicações sociais”.
