Portugal, Coimbra region, Loural on 2022-05-02. Report on the eco-village of Loural in the mountains of central Portugal. Here, the Klein family and their partners have been working on an ambitious project for a few years. The project is to rehabilitate a small village that has been abandoned since the year 2000 into an eco-location. On 30 hectares, the collective protects and improves the ecosystem by practising organic agriculture, reforestation and the production of green energy. In the process of restoration, this small stone village is moving towards food and energy autonomy and its vegetation is gradually coming back to life. The place is starting to provide integrative health training and artistic activities, its final vocation. Portugal, region de Coimbra, Loural le 2022-05-02.

Reportage on the Jeunes Pousses, a follow-up care and pneumo-pediatric rehabilitation unit specialising in climate therapy for asthma. The centre is located in Briançon, Frances highest town, which is part of WHOs Healthy Cities programme. At this altitude the oxygen partial pressure is reduced which has a positive effect on the cardio-vascular system. The concentration of allergens is also reduced. Briançon is one of the top places for high-altitude climate therapy due to its hours of sunlight, almost total lack of fog, its very low hygrometry, its almost total lack of dust mites, the scarcity of damp, its short pollen season and a very low levels of pollution.
