Two Minutes: Saving Portugal's Corks!

Category: My Project...

One of the great things about the international nature of the Fair is the insight some projects provide on the problems facing their home countries and regions. Take for instance the team project in Plant Science by Eduardo Manuel Soares Guerreiro, Estela Da Silva Guerreiro, and Rita Catarina Ramos Pimenta dos Santos Silva from Odemira, Portugal.

Their research addresses the causes of a devastating condition known as "decline" that has wreaked havoc on cork oak forests in Portugal and threatens the country's cork industry. For perspective, Portugal has about a third of the world's cork oaks, and it produces over half of the world's supply of cork. The industry is such an important part of the country's economy and culture that it's illegal to cut down a cork tree in Portugal. And understandably so: Each tree can only be harvested every nine or ten years and takes more than two decades to mature.

During a break at this year's ISEF, we had a chance to speak with Eduardo and Estela about their project, and gave them the two-minute project explanation challenge. Their response is below the fold.
