An overlook on the most recent memberships (23), as well as on the newsletter traffic, has shown the growth and the internationalization of the Portuguese Network of Environmental History, in the last two years.

Some examples were presented, such as Arcadia (http://www.environmentandsociety.org/arcadia). This proposal was positively received by the attending members and should be developed in the next months, with the collaboration of all members.
