"Life in spite of the Aridity" was published in the December issue of National Geographic Portugal.
Alexandre Vaz and I co-authored this article on the biodiversity of Cape Verde's desert islands.
It all started with a thousand photographs and the generosity of one hundred people. After we made our goal, everything rushed by: equipment preparations, traveling arrangements and especially all six weeks of filming in Cabo Verde.

Although our priority was to make a documentary, we were thrilled when NGM Portugal showed an interest in publishing a short story about the Razo Lark and the work of local NGO Biosfera to reintroduce it to Santa Luzia.

Here are a few additional photos from our shoot.
