This is Salgados right now … officially “protected” as a Wetland Bird Sanctuary of prime importance, but in fact completely dry! Just sun-baked earth … no Life at all.

If this is what full protection means now, what hope have we if the “development” of the area goes ahead as planned?
It’s a disgrace that Portugal is currently promoting itself as a location for Nature-based holidays while allowing the degradation of a unique area like this to be despoiled in an erroneous grab for tourist dollars.
Please sign and share our petition to help the NGOs concerned get proper protection for this vital area … once it’s developed it’ll be gone for ever …
