The LIFE Charcos Project was represented in a poster communication entitled "Conservation of Temporary Ponds in the Southwest Coast of Portugal: state of the art" by Margarida Cristo, Carla Pinto-Cruz, Rita Alcazar and José Paulo Monteiro. In the presentation of the poster, Professor Margarida Cristo, from the University of Algarve, spoke about the objectives of the LIFE Charcos Project, as well as the actions already implemented.

The annual meetings gather conservation experts from different branches of science related to land use, along side with other stakeholders of wetlands management. Thanks to the diversity of participants, it was possible to create space for dialogue, sharing of knowledge and experiencesrelated to restoration, management and conservation of European wetlands. One of the main objectives was to find solutions that effectively solve problems encountered and arising in a changing world.
