Non perdiamo di vista il buonsenso…
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 …
La vergognosa politica * The shameful politics
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 …

Power of human brain? * Usiamo il cervello?
Brain synapses 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 …

Biodiversity to be protected * Biodiversità da proteggere
. . 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 …

La fauna selvatica non dovrebbe forse essere patrimonio nazionale?
(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, …

The IUCN calls for halt to species decline by 2030
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 …

A matter of choice * una questione di scelta
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 …

Protection dogs for flocks * cani da protezione per le greggi
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 …

Environmental imbalance and biodiversity * Disequilibrio ambientale e biodiversità
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 …
Question of conscience? Not only… questione di coscienza? Non solo…
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 …

Why does this happen?
Watch the interview with the manager of the "amphibious" project of the WWF Section Ticino The view was horrible: hundreds of little bodies smashed on the black street under a pouring rain (I refrain from showing you pictures of it). And the cars didn't stop or slow down, they were racing at our sides, meanwhile, …
We stole their land, their home…
With near certainty, when you were a child, your mother or grandmother will have told you the fairy tale of the "Little Red Riding Hood"... Certainly, lupus in fabula has brought terrible prejudices toward this animal itself little different from his brother, the faithful man's friend: the dog. For centuries, this poor creature was hunted and persecuted, using any …
It’s over… * È finito…
This is the time of year in which we usually draw conclusions... Many of us, those honest and sincere to the core, can only look to the future with deep concern...

Il tunnel fa acqua
As "environmentalist" and "ecologist" I object vehemently to the doubling of the Gotthard tunnel under the Swiss Alps!

Here is a detailed and accurate report …
