I'm a writer, a world citizen: across earth, water & sky
. Questo video mostra alcune rane salvate dalla strada a Magadino, una delle quali visibilmente gravemente ferita che ancora voleva raggiungere la libertà. È così orribilmente difficile guardare le rane spiaccicate per strada perché alla gente non importa e invece di rallentare, danno gas. Abbiamo bisogno di volontari per aiutarci, specialmente quando piove o con …

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 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 …

I do not think we should be animalist or naturalist to realize something is wrong. But it's too easy to turn your face, pretending not to see the tragedy of the facts. We went far beyond the imaginable. Movies like these that I want to show you are the proof that there is no longer …

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, …
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 …

Link per AVAAZ 18 mesi fa, il controllo di Monsanto sull'agricoltura mondiale sembrava inattaccabile. Oggi, dopo più di 20 campagne, 2 milioni di firme, centinaia di migliaia di telefonate, messaggi e incontri con i Ministeri, manifestazioni e articoli di giornale... l'intero "modello Monsanto" è stato messo in dubbio. L'Unione Europea ha appena bocciato il rinnovo …
Actually this is only a cartoon... I have seen few dystopian movies, I'm Legend just to name one, where nature take back its place . Others, like Divergent, Shaman, Hunger Games or Cloud Atlas, bring us into some mistic territory where you really have to open up your mind and accept the real possibility that …
