Tamera, Portugal
Founded in 1995
Residents: 160
The German project founded by Dieter Duhm, Sabine Lichtenfels and Rainer Ehrenpreis in 1974 took a new shape as Tamera in Alentejo, a Portuguese region deeply affected by desertification and land abandonment. While turning the dusty landscape into a sublime oasis, Tamera became a leading international site for the development of sustainable models to be applied in crisis areas as a way to empower local communities.
