This month we feature two stories focused on environmental concerns: António Luís Campos published last month's National Geographic (Portugal) cover story on "Renewable Energy in Portugal". The country is one of Europe's leading nations researching technology in alternative kinds of energy production. An in-depth view on this very present subject. |

We had REPRESENTED photographers, now we also have CONTRIBUTORS.
CONTRIBUTORS joined 4SEE in a way that privilege diversity and gives the opportunity to those who can´t shoot stories on a regular basis to show their work.
The first ones to arrive add a mix of experience (Mário Proença and Tsafrir Abayov) and young blood (Patrícia Moreira and Andrea Grilli).
We would like to welcome the first four of a number that will grow in the next months.

Loading cork-tree bark planks |
|
From one of our new contributing photographers comes "The endangered cork-tree", a story shot by Mário Proença, that alerts about the risk of losing 3/4 of the area now occupied by cork-oak trees around the world. Taking into account that cork is 100% recyclable and with low energy consumption comparing with plastic and aluminium recycling, this is a tree with great economical value facing the actual energy crisis. |
