Hiki i ka huakaʻi ke hana i kekahi mea maikaʻi ma waho o ka manawa nui a mākou e hana ai? ʻAe, ʻae. Nui nā huakaʻi i kēia mau manawa paʻa ʻole e ʻimi i nā ala e hiki ai iā lākou ke hana maikaʻi ma ke ala. Eia nā manaʻo ʻehā e pili ana i ke kipa ʻana i Pokukala me ka maka i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ko kākou honua, e hoʻopakele ana i nā ʻano mea make a me ka hana pono.
Pehea e hoʻolilo ai i ka manawa ma Pokukala i mea maikaʻi aʻe i ko mākou honua? Ua hana ʻo Pokukala i kekahi mau koho koʻikoʻi i kāna hoʻomohala waiwai. Hoʻopili lākou i ka hoʻoholo ʻana ʻaʻole e kūkulu i ka pā, akā e lawe i kahi pohō nui a mālama i nā kiʻi pena koʻikoʻi ma kahi awāwa mamao; ʻO ka ʻohi ʻana i nā hōkele kahakai o kēia wā e kūkulu hou ʻia me kahi hale hoʻokipa kaiapuni i ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi a me ke kaulike; ʻO ke kipa ʻana i kahi e koʻikoʻi ai ke kaulike o ke ʻano a me ke kanaka i ka poʻe e noho ana ma laila.
A ke kākoʻo nei i ka ululāʻau nui loa ma ka hema o ʻEulopa e hiki ke kōkua i ka hoʻopau ʻana i nā hopena o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau.
KA HOOPAA I KA DAM MA FOZ CÔA
He ʻumi makahiki i hala aku nei, e hoʻololi ʻia ana kahi ʻāina ʻāhiu, mauna o ka hikina ʻākau o Pokukala, ma ke awāwa o ka muliwai ʻo Côa, i loko i hana ʻia e ke kanaka me ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi pā e lawe ai i ka mana uila a me ka wai i ka ʻāina mamao. Eia naʻe, ua hōʻike ke kaʻina hana i ka nui o nā kiʻi kiʻi ana prehistoric pono e mālama ʻia, ma ka ʻōlelo a nā archeologists. A laila ua hoʻoholo ke aupuni Pukiki i kahi hoʻoholo paʻakikī a pipiʻi. Ua haʻalele ʻia ka pāhana dam a, ma kona wahi, ua hana ʻia kahi paka hoʻoilina. Ua koho ʻia ka paka i kēia manawa he kahua hoʻoilina honua UNESCO.
I kēia lā, he kaʻa kaʻa e hele ai i ka paka, akā nui ka poʻe e hana ia no ka ʻike ʻana i nā kiʻi kiʻi ana o nā kao mauna, nā lio, nā aurochs (nā bipi hihiu) a me nā dia. He ʻano maʻamau kēia mau ʻano o nā herbivores nui i ʻāpana o ke kaiaola ma ka ʻāina i ka wā o ka Upper Paleolithic Age. ʻO nā kaha iʻa kekahi i loko o ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana, me hoʻokahi kiʻi o ke ʻano kanaka. Ua kahakaha ʻia nā kaha kiʻi me ka quartz a i ʻole ka pōhaku, e kālai ʻia nā kiʻi i loko o nā paia pōhaku me nā laina pololei a i ʻole zigzags. Aia ka hale hōʻikeʻike ʻo Quinta da Ervamoira ma ke kikowaena o ka pā hoʻoilina, e hāʻawi ana i ka wehewehe ʻana i ka ʻāina a me kāna mau loina. Hōʻike ka hale hōʻikeʻike i ke akamai o ka hana berena a me ka hana waina i nā makahiki. Ma nā wahi a puni o ka paka, e wehe ana nā hale hoʻokipa hou e hoʻokipa i nā malihini. ʻO ke kipa ʻana iā Foz Côa he koho balota no ka mālama ʻana i kā mākou kanaka i hala a me ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana he mea nui ia ma mua o kahi pā.
ALENTEJO: E inu waina a e hoopakele i ka IBERIAN LYNX
ʻO ka manawa aʻe e wehe ai ʻoe i kahi hue waina i loaʻa i kahi pahu, e noʻonoʻo i ka lynx Iberian. ʻO ka ʻāina ʻo Alentejo o Pokukala kahi home o nā ululāʻau nui loa o ka honua, a ʻo ia mau ululāʻau pulu i mālama i nā ʻano mea kanu, nā manu a me nā holoholona e noho ana i loko o lākou. Ma nā wahi mamao loa o kēia mau ʻāina i hoʻomalu ʻia, hiki ke loaʻa ka lynx kakaʻikahi Iberian.
Mālama ʻia nā nahele Cork e ke kānāwai. ʻO Cork kahi huahana kūlohelohe maoli. He mea pili i ke kaiapuni, hiki ke hoʻololi hou, hiki ke hana hou, a me ka biodegradable. Loaʻa i Pokukala nā ululāʻau koʻokoʻo i ʻoi aku ma mua o 100 mau makahiki a, ma lalo o kahi papahana hoʻoulu hou ʻana, ke ulu nei lākou ma ka ʻehā pakeneka o ka makahiki ma ka awelika. ʻOi aku ka nui o ka hapalua o ka nui o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka cork ma ka honua. Hoʻomau ka ʻoihana cork ma mua o 15,000 mau limahana ma nā wahi mamao.
No ka hana ʻana i ka ʻoka, ʻo ka lāʻau ʻoka (Quercus Suber, a i ʻole Sobreiro ma ka ʻōlelo Pukiki) pono ma kahi o 25 mau makahiki. No ka ʻohi ʻana i ka ʻōpala, ʻoki ʻia ka ʻili o waho mai kahi lāʻau ʻoka i hoʻokahi manawa i kēlā me kēia ʻeiwa makahiki. Mālama ʻia ka lāʻau e kahi ʻili i loko, waiho mau ʻia ma luna o ka lāʻau. Hoʻomoʻa ʻia ka ʻili i ʻohi ʻia a hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia.
Wahi a kahi noiʻi hou a The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā corks maoli e ka ʻoihana waina o ka honua e mālama i nā ʻano holoholona like ʻole i loko o nā ululāʻau cork o ka hema o ʻEulopa.
He kanahākūmālua mau ʻano manu e hilinaʻi ana i nā ululāʻau cork, me ka ʻaeto imperial Spanish i hoʻopau ʻia (me ka heluna kanaka o ka honua a hiki i ka 130 pālua), a me nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole e like me ka vulture ʻeleʻele a me ka stork ʻeleʻele. ʻO nā manu liʻiliʻi, e like me nā robins, finches a me nā mele mele, neʻe i nā ululāʻau kumu o ka Iberian Peninsula mai ʻEulopa ʻĀkau, me nā ʻeleʻele mai United Kingdom. I ka pūnāwai a me ke kauwela, ʻo nā ululāʻau cork ka home o nā ʻano pepeke a me nā mea kanu, ʻoi aku ma mua o 60 mau ʻano mea kanu i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i hoʻokahi mika square.
Ua ʻike ʻia kekahi kumulāʻau ma kēia mau ʻāina i mālama ʻia ʻo "Whistler Tree" no ka nui o nā manu mele i makemake ʻia. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia he 212 makahiki. ʻO kēia lāʻau wale nō paha i hoʻohua i 1 miliona corks.
No laila, e hoʻokuʻu i kēlā "plork" a i ʻole alumini i luna no kāu hue waina. Ma ke koho ʻana i ka waina me ka pahu, ke kākoʻo nei ʻoe i kēia mau ululāʻau e kākoʻo nei i ka honua.
AUTHENTIC, UNSPOILED, A PALAPALA E KONO PALA
I hoʻokahi haneli i hala aku nei, ua ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mokupuni ʻo Azorean a ʻilihune loa. I kēia lā, kakaʻikahi lākou a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi. I mua o ka pōʻino waiwai a me ke kaiapuni, ua haʻalele ka poʻe 400,000 i nā Azores i nā makahiki he 100, e ʻimi ana lākou a pau i kahi ola maikaʻi aʻe. ʻO ka poʻe i noho ma hope, ua apo lākou i ke koʻikoʻi o ka lilo ʻana i mau kahu o ka honua. Ua kapa ʻia ka National Geographic Center for Sustainable Destinations i nā mokupuni ʻo Azores ma ke ʻano he lua o ka pae ʻāina ʻoluʻolu loa o ka honua ma kāna ʻehā makahiki. He 522 mau loea, i kōkua ʻia e George Washington University, nānā i nā kūlana ma 111 mau mokupuni a me nā pae ʻāina. ʻO nā ʻāina ʻo Azores wale nō i ʻike ʻia e nā mokupuni ʻo Faroe, a ua wehewehe ʻia nā Azores ʻo "ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole i hoʻopau ʻia, a e mau ana paha."
Ua ʻike nā luna kānāwai i ka ʻimi ʻana ʻaʻole ʻo Azores he "kumu kahakai" a no laila ʻaʻole paha e huki i ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi. ʻO nā mokupuni mauna a me ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo me he mea lā "e noho mau ʻole ʻia," i kākau ai lākou. Ua ʻike pū ʻia nō hoʻi ke ʻano hana, ka maʻalahi o ka poʻe kamaʻāina i noho mau i nā ʻāina ʻē. ʻO ke ʻano malihini kipa nui, ʻōlelo nā luna kānāwai, ʻo ia ka huakaʻi kūʻokoʻa e noho ana ma B & Bs.
ʻO ke kaiaola˜mai nā puʻu hydrangea nani o Flores a hiki i nā koʻo pōhaku lalo o Terceira˜ua maikaʻi loa. ʻIke pinepine ʻia nā koholā ma uka. He ikaika a ola ka moʻomeheu kūloko.

Ua ʻike ʻoe i kahi kahakai i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe ʻino a ʻōlelo ʻo "Makemake wau e wāwahi wale lākou a hoʻomaka hou"?
ʻAe, ua hana lākou pēlā ma ka Peninsula ʻo Tróia, ma ke kihi ʻākau o ka ʻāina ʻo Alentejo o Pokukala, 30 mau mile ma ka hema o Lisbon. ʻO ka papahana hou ʻo Tróia Resort ka mea e luku ai i kekahi mau kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka makahiki 1970 a me ka makahiki 1980. Aia ma ko lākou wahi he hale hoʻokipa haʻahaʻa "'ōmaʻomaʻo" hou, i kūkulu ʻia e hoʻokō i ka ʻāina o kēia wahi palupalu. He wahi maikaʻi loa ka peninsula no nā haʻuki kolepa a me ka wai. Aia ke one haiki he 47 km ma ka hema o Lisbon a he 18 km kahakai a me kekahi o ka wai ma'ema'e loa ma ia wahi.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- A decade ago, a wild, mountainous area of northeastern Portugal, along the valley of the River Côa, was going to be turned into a man-made lake with the construction of a dam that would bring electrical power and irrigation to the remote region.
- Wahi a kahi noiʻi hou a The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā corks maoli e ka ʻoihana waina o ka honua e mālama i nā ʻano holoholona like ʻole i loko o nā ululāʻau cork o ka hema o ʻEulopa.
- The Alentejo region of Portugal is home to the largest cork forests in the world, and those cork forests have served to protect all the species of plants, birds and animals that dwell within them.
