Can you imagine?

This dream made us acquire this land. We are now stewards working to turn it into a living reality.

MEET CURRENT INVESTORS

The land is a paradise.

But it is surrounded by hundreds of hectares 

of eucalyptus monocultures.

But this dam is currently among the top 3 with the least water, due to severe drought and bad use of water resources in the region.

Biodiversity was lost.

Water is there.

Population has moved.

Our mission is to regenerate
this paradise.

To bring back all sorts of life.

Acting as stewards of the land.

 

Why? Because we deeply believe that is through a livelihood connected

with nature that we can become more and more conducive to life in all we do.

“I invested in Eco Aldeia da Bravura as I believe it has the great potential to integrate ecological stewardship with sustainable livelihoods, health, well-being, and the development of a higher consciousness. From an environmental standpoint, this land is also a critical watershed for the Algarve, which is currently facing dire challenges in water resource management. As this region is of utmost importance in terms of tourism for the country, the issue of how to manage the essential resource of water also has substantial implications for the economy of Portugal. By replenishing and managing this watershed sustainably, we would be doing a great service for the region and Portugal as a whole. Our work may also be a reference for other coastal regions facing similar challenges, thereby, creating reverberating impact in other parts of the world.”
