Rewilding Portugal wants sculpture inspired by the Côa Great Valley in Vilar Maior

Jornal O Interior12 September 2026 at 12:30

The return of wildlife to the Côa Great Valley will be marked with the installation of a sculpture in Vilar Maior, in the municipality of Sabugal. The idea comes from Rewilding Portugal, an organization dedicated to rewilding and ecological restoration in Portugal.

The sculpture will be inspired by an emblematic species of fauna or flora from the Côa Great Valley region. Rewilding Portugal has already launched a challenge to Portuguese and international artists to submit proposals for this work.

The goal is for the sculpture to symbolically represent the return of wildlife to this area of the Guarda district, where conservation and environmental restoration initiatives have been developed. Vilar Maior, a parish in Sabugal, will host this artistic piece that aims to celebrate the recovery of biodiversity in the region.

Why this matters

Residents of the Sabugal region can benefit from the tourism and cultural impact of this sculpture, which highlights rewilding efforts in the Côa Great Valley. The initiative comes following the wildlife return projects in the region, offering artists an opportunity to participate through the launched challenge.

Almost nobody does this before traveling: find out why you should put duct tape on your suitcase wheels

Travel experts recommend applying duct tape — preferably "duct tape" or self-fusing silicone tape — on suitcase wheels before traveling. According to Meteored, this simple gesture can reduce noise, protect wheels from wear caused by different floor surfaces, absorb vibrations, and improve grip on smooth or wet surfaces, such as those found in airports. The article warns that tape should be applied on clean, dry wheels, without excessive layers, and that regular adhesive tape and electrical tape are not suitable for this purpose.
