Hélder Spínola

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hélder Spínola de Freitas (born June 12, 1973 in Mozambique ) is a Portuguese biologist and environmental activist and spokesman for the environmental protection organization Quercus .

Spínola graduated from Madeira University in Funchal with a degree in biology in 1996 . In 1997/98 he worked as a teacher on the Portuguese mainland and in 1998/99 on his home island in Machico as a science teacher. In 2006 he received his doctorate with distinction in Funchal on the subject of "Genetic diversity of the HLA system in Portugal, Cabo Verde and Guinea-Bissau" .

His criticism of building and environmental sins after the flood disaster on Madeira in February 2010, as spokesman for the Portuguese environmental organization Quercus, received international attention . For this he was described by the President of the autonomous region Alberto João Jardim as "vile" and "unqualified". Spínola complains, among other things, of the construction of river valleys, oversized roads and the failure to observe protection zones, especially in the shores of the Atlantic .
