I'm a writer, a world citizen: across earth, water & sky
Built in 1977, the 72-foot Palmer Johnson aluminium ketch was firs deployed by Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (SSCS) in 2014 to the Upper Gulf of California, where it assisted in the protection and defense of the critically endagered Vaquita porpoise. Launched in 1977 as the Caribana, the vessel served as a whale research ship under …

Here see the movie (for other languages, look at the link beloww ) http://www.nationearth.com WARNING, viewing the film is strongly discouraged for sensitive people.I personally believe it is incumbent upon us to show sufficient courage to face these realities, to combat all kinds of suppruse and violence against sentient beings, we must make radical changes …
The list of endangered species is very long... is it really necessary to think about the inapropriate idea of exterminating species that are (still) protected? Isn't it finally time to look in the mirror: who is really dangerous?And then roll up our sleeves to do what we can to make a paradigm shift?How much longer …

In queste settimane, gli animi si sono accesi parecchio, e a far discutere è la modifica della Legge sulla Caccia! Quale ecologista amante degli animali, non sono l'unica ad essere stata più volte attaccata verbalmente come pure su scritti apparsi sulla stampa del cantone Ticino. Sono piovute parole spregevoli e ai limiti della denuncia... Ma …

In recent months I have repeatedly asked myself whether there is a relationship, albeit indirect, between the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and global warming.On the one hand, it is stated that there is still no scientific evidence, but many times reference is made to other viruses of the same Orthocoronavirinae family, for example SARS, for which a …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=aIoBAS6bLy8&feature=emb_logo . I would like to share with you this 6 min. video, with some very strong images, which will make you seriously think of "speciesism" as a degenerative disease in the human being. Being a vegetarian or vegan, we're more sensitive to this topic, but it shall be our mission to spread the words …
. . Although the definition of the Ecosystem is a relatively new term, in recent months it has taken on a very important media impact. The human being is closely connected to Nature, on which he depends for his survival. Without a healthy ecosystem, we would not have water to drink and clean air to …

(Corriere del Ticino 22.10.2019) Nel 1800 sono scomparse in Svizzera diverse specie, sterminate poiché ritenute pericolose o semplicemente poiché l’uomo ha sottratto loro lo spazio vitale: nel 1871 in Ticino è stato ucciso l’ultimo lupo, nel 1894 in Vallese l’ultima lince, nel 1904 in Grigioni l’ultimo orso. Nel 1985 si è estinto il gipeto barbuto, …

With urgent need, I share the post of "in the shadow of the wolf". The International Union for Conservation of Nature reminds us that the emergency must be taken with extreme urgency. The current crisis, without previous analogues, must absolutely lead us to launch immediate conservation laws so that the bio-diversity is also guaranteed in …

That soy is almost exclusively harvested and exported to feed livestock on factory farms around the world, an easy and cheap way to feed animals and get them fat for slaughter quickly. It is the world’s appetite for beef that is fuelling the fires in the …
As much I read about it, as much I see that kind of movies… there is a strange deep feeling arising in my being. Sometimes I'm up to think "Gee, I can't bear anything more, like this cruelty without any meaning…" And I have to force myself to watch to the end the movie, with …

The presence of large predators (in this case I refer especially to the wolf) always have a disproportionate impact on public opinion, and this is caused by the loss of habit to live with them. More than a century ago, in our territory wolves were present in the valleys and pre-Alpine areas and cohabitated with …

The philosopher Carlo Sini has simplified the problem of biodiversity decline by stating that it is a disequilibrium between "prey" and "predators" that in the long run will cause the collapse of an entire ecosystem. But what is an ecosystem, also called an ecological unit? It is a set of living organisms of plants and …
In recent years, despite the wisdom of age, I have often confronted myself with difficult situations that have put a strain on my tolerance and patience. I think it happens to everyone, sooner or later. Perhaps, it is a question of acute sensitivity or progressive intolerance. I procrastinate writing on the blog, to avoid disturbing …
