Mobilise to change behaviour before summer arrives
It is in the hands of all of us to contribute to a Portugal to be protected from serious rural fires.
“Portugal calls” is the National Campaign with the seal of the Portuguese Republic, which integrates the participation of all the governed areas and supervised services involved in the prevention and combating rural fires and which will air tomorrow, on television, radio, press, digital and billboards.
“Portugal calls” is much more than a campaign, it is a call to action, which launches a challenge to each of the population to mobilize and contribute to a country protection from serious rural fires. The danger is there and it is up to us all to act by Summer, clearing the land, taking care of the land and the forest, performing the registering of the land, protecting the villages and alerting people of the risk.
Emotion and action
The first movie that will air tomorrow is very strong and emotional and reminds us difficult times, but it challenges us all to play an active and decisive role. Each one is part of the solution. Then, throughout the year, films, radio spots, billboards, Press releases and distributed leaflets, along with the website and a number of mobilization of citizens to:
Value the forest, nature, land
Caring for the earth
Modify behaviour
We want to reach all citizens and believe in a strong regional campaign.
We can all make happen differently on the ground, in each region, county, parish, village.
“Portugal Chama. For you. For all”.
