Even as a child, every time I looked at the sea, I was fascinated by its immensity. The large waves, restless and sometimes violent, moved the sand on the shore beneath my feet. The footprints I left were ephemeral, nothing remained intact, not even the shapes I drew with a stick. I also loved its …

Abolish intensive livestock farming (and look seriously at veganism)
How time flies! Monday will mark exactly one year since Switzerland voted to abolish factory farming. For us, this anniversary is associated with mixed feelings.On the one hand, we're still disappointed that we were able to win "only" 37 percent of the population for our cause. This is due in no small part to the …

Cruelty to animals: big cats in captivity, they urgently need our help! * Crudeltà verso gli animali: grandi felini in cattività, hanno urgente bisogno del nostro aiuto!
Rescued big cats in South Africa need urgent veterinary care and food. Captive lion breeding is one of wildlife’s biggest scandals in South Africa. Forced breeding sees lion cubs born in cages, petted by tourists until they are too big, and then shot by trophy hunters who think it's clever to shoot a defenseless animal. If not hunted, they …

Swiss Mafia shows its presence: and the wolf must die
Four years ago, I published this video of the Oscar winner Gabriele Salvatores who for "Almo Nature" in 2015 signed this contemporary fairy tale that has man, wolf and dog as protagonists. A nice short video to show how to feel compassion and respect towards all other species…But sadly, Switzerland is unable to show respect, …

Let’s not lose sight of common sense * 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 …

Power of human brain? * Usiamo il cervello?
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 …

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, …
