The Conference aims to bring together experts of environmental history, whose contributions will enable the exchange of new perspectives, discussing concepts, methodologies and processes in the field of Environmental History. The meeting program includes plenary and parallel sessions which cover a wide range of issues that are interconnected and cross the boundaries of Environmental History. Health, human development, climate change, the role of science and technology, endangered species or changes in the landscape are part of a varied palette of topics to be discussed at the conference. We also highlight in the plenary lectures the contribution of three international experts in Environmental History as Mauro Agnoletti, Rudolf Brázdil and José Augusto Pádua. With a great pleasure and on behalf of Local Organising Committee I am submitting to the scholar community this set of abstracts selected by the Scientific Committee as a way to disseminate methodological and topics orientation in the field of environmental history, that we named Reading topics on environmental History. Finally we consider that this conference is the first one organized in the context of the Portuguese Network of Environmental History – REPORT(H)A as a lasting legacy of the 2nd World Congress of Environmental History (WCEH) 2014 promising a future cooperation with the European Society for Environmental History (ESEH) and other similar institutions. We wish you all a great conference!

S. de FERREIAA:' 1. THEISSUE The fact that for Guinea-Bissau political independence has already been achieved and that independence is planned for Mozambique to be realized this year and for Angola within less than one year, is being regarded by many people as something which by itself marks the end of relations hips of dependence between these African territories and Portugal. Such a view is based on an incorrect evaluation of Portuguese colonialism today. A number of attempts that have been made to .explain Portugal's refusal for many years to grant her colonies indepe- ndence has created the image of a static Portugal and of static colonial r~lations. This image is widely spread among the critics of the Portuguese colonial regime. According to this conception, Portugal is an underdeveloped agrarian country whose economic weakness did not allow her to introduce a market economy in the colonies, this explaining the maintenance of a repressive colonial system based on forced labour. Portugal's dependence on Europe, these critics say, makes the Portuguese ruling classes a puppet of the international 9apital' s interest and has led to a situation where the Portuguese bourgeoisie can draw some profit from the colonies only by direct political control.

Portugal is a mining friendly jurisdiction with known mineral potential and reliable infrastructure. It has one of the oldest mining traditions in the world where mining started before Roman times and continues in one form or another to today. Portugal is a modern European country with first class infrastructure, judicial security, and transparent mining law with clear rules and regulations. Mining is being encouraged by the Portuguese Government as an important part of its forward looking economic plan. The Portuguese policy on mining is in line with the European Union’s overall strategy which encourages exploration and mining for metals and minerals considered to be of strategic importance and critical to its economy.

Portugal is one of the main tungsten producers in Europe, having generated ≈121 kt of contained tungsten in mineral concentrates from 1910 to 2020, i.e., ≈3.3% of the global production documented for the same time period. Since the early nineties, tungsten mining in Portugal is confined to the Panasqueira deposit which accounts for 79% of the country reserves (≈5.4 kt). However, according to the performed Generalized Verhulst and Richards curve-fitting forecasts, there is a significant future potential for increasing production in Citation: Mateus, A.; Lopes, C.; Portugal due to the low (<2%) depletion rates of the remaining known tungsten resources (≈141 kt).

The Celts in Portugal Teresa Júdice Gamito, University of Algarve Abstract The Iberian Peninsula was famous in antiquity for its richness in metal ores, because of which it became a well-known region whose silver, gold, tin, and copper were highly sought after by Mediterranean and other European peoples. Its geographic location gave it the reputation of being at the end of the world. In a sense, it actually was the end of the known world. Some of the legends of Hercules are described as taking place there. Ancient authors refer to it quite often, thus we know a lot about the area, the events that took place there and the different peoples who inhabited it, the Greeks, the Phoenicians and the Celts among them. My argument here will follow a precise short scheme in an attempt to synthesize the existing evidence on this fascinating subject.
