I DECIDED TO DEDICATE A PROJECT TO MACARONESIA VOLCANIC ARCHIPELAGOS FOR THEIR PECULIAR CHARATERISTICS OF BEING ISOLATED AND HAVING PRESERVED SOME OF THE OLDEST FORESTS ON THE PLANET, ALIVE MEMORIES OF SUBTROPICAL PLIOCENE FORESTS AND ENDEMIC SPECIES, AS WITNESSES OF A UNIQUE LANDSCAPE FACING GLOBAL WARMING, AND SURVIVED TO MASS TOURISM AND HEAVY POSTCOLONIAL AGRICOLTURE
