There are no wild Iberian Lynx in Portugal at all, do some research before writing crap.

Does anyone know of a good Brit vet in the Mafra/Malveira area? Thanks!

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember that one of the reasons put forward to stop the building of the Lisbon Algarve motorway was that it would endanger the Iberian Lynx. So why do we need to bring in some "extras" if they are already here? Don't tell me it was all a pathetic hoax (another) to stop (or try to) the building of the motorway. Tut tut, how very naughty of some environmentalists

This has been an accident waiting to happen, but I doubt that this is restricted to the Algarve, loose rocks are everywhere along the coast of most countries. What is amazing is the superb response of the Portuguese emergency services at the Maria Luisa beach. Within the hour an emergency hospital had been set up and a vast team of emergency workers where at the site of the accident in a matter of minutes. I doubt if any other EU country could do any better.

Just for informative purposes only, I have had longlife energy saver bulbs in my house for well on 10 years... although they are more expensive to buy they last much longer. ALL my bulbs are now energy saving including the spots I turned into LED,s. The other day i unpacked a box from the uk & inside was several old type Phillips bulbs & all of them still work! These must be some of the first ones I bought 10 yrs ago in Wigan! Regards Phillip Wainhouse

Does the EU have information on native plants? I would select native plants for my garden if I knew what they were and where to get them. Also, what invasivie plants should we remove?

Although rather belatedly, this is a very important development in the control the nevrf ending invasive species that are threatening Europe. One hopes that such polciies are finalised as soon as possible so that implementation can start immediately. It is not just the control of the introduction which is necessary, iit is also the elijination of those that have already established themsleves.

Sorry Richard, but you are very wrong. In our Algarve town there are recycling islands all around the town with 4 units, paper, plastics, glass and then general waste (and they are emptied every few days). In addition, our Mayor has put Poop and Scoop (that is what you meant I think) disposable bag dispensers everywhere, and fitted cigarette but disposal units. Our rubbish is collected every day, even Sundays, ans the streets are being swept and cleaned every day, and very well. Name me one British town that can match that (most of them collect rubbish once a fortnight, disgraceful. All power to Portugal, setting the example.

For a country that prides itself on environmental issues, I feel Portugal has a long way to go. Many of the facts sited in this article are commendable. However, as a long term visitor to this country, I can not help but notice glaring problems of a "footprint" abused. The refuse is picked up regularly in the rolling bins but no attempt is made to segregate different types of waste: plastics (of which there is a lot with all the 5L water jugs purchased), glass (because there is no deposit charged on spirit, beer and wine bottles) or cardboard and paper. The burning of fossil fuel in individual homes is still acceptable. Here is an observation: while sitting at an outdoor terrace at a large hotel, a member of the wait staff went to a large garbage receptacle and removed the big green waste bag. He then went over to the colour coded bags where patrons had been dutifully separating the waste and dumped all three bags worth into the one large green one. So much for recyling. Don't get me started on "Soop and Scoop" rules.

I read on the web that Singapore eradicated Dengue Fever entirely some years ago. 1

Hi Akbar, do you mean good that these species are being wiped out? Or do you mean good that this story has been published? Hope its the last option.

We don't need wave power in the UK, we have nice safe atomic power. No risk, (except that kids living near the power station glow in the dark)
