#059ece;\"><strong>transforming degraded spaces into living infrastructures that restore biodiversity, generate ecological value and reconnect people with nature.<\/strong> <\/span>In contrast to conventional tourism and extractive coastal dynamics, the organisation proposes a new paradigm that places <strong>environmental regeneration at the heart of territorial

between institutions, businesses and civil society in making this systemic shift possible.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: #000000;
