Despite the impetuous and participatory protests of farmers throughout Europe which have been taking place since January, the European Parliament yesterday officially adopted the first Nature Restoration Act with 329 votes in favour, 275 against and 24 abstentions.The Law, which provides for restore at least 20% of degraded terrestrial and marine ecosystems of the EU by 2030 and the almost total restoration by 2050, was supported by the entire centre-left spectrum of the European Parliament, while it was opposed by conservative parties, in particular by the EPP (European People's Party), within of which only 25 MEPs out of a total of 177 voted in favor of the law.The latter constitutes an important pillar for achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and their elimination by 2050.However, farmers see the newly approved legislation, the Green Deal and the CAP (European Agricultural Policy) as one threat to their livelihood a...

In view of Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, which will begin in exactly two years (6 February 2026), a week of celebrations began yesterday between Cortina, Trento and other locations.However, there are many critical issues linked to the sporting event, including exorbitant costs and "environmental havoc" denounced by environmentalist associations.Precisely for this reason, activists have organized a series of protest initiatives, including marches, demonstrations and flash mobs, to relaunch the "no" to the major works that should be carried out in these two years.The Unsustainable Olympics Committee – IOC 2026, among the main promoters of the protests, in particular has reported "the negative impact" of the event, including "environmental devastation", "violent transformation of the social fabric" and promotion of a "crazy model of mountain tourism" now unsustainable "on a social and environmental level".The init...

Almost 38 thousand signatures were collected in two months on the Change.org platform by petition to ask SNAM to divert the route of its methane pipeline which, if built on the planned route, will lead to the destruction of a refuge in which over 60 animals live and a forest of approximately 600 trees.Marta Garaffini and Federico Raspadori, the couple who own the refuge, launched the battle.As a sign of protest, the woman also began a hunger strike, which lasted two weeks.The spouses said they tried to open a discussion with the company, asking them to provide a small deviation of the route.Otherwise, "once the construction site is finished - they said - they will give us back our devastated fields", which they will no longer be able to use for their projects "because the lifetime easement of right of way on that land implies that SNAM, every time it has to make maintenance work, will return to dig and destroy everything”. The mega SNAM Linea Adriatica gas pipeline...

It ended on Friday the 13th the occupation of the construction site of work on the Girosa glacier, in France, after a week of mobilization in 3400 meters of height which blocked the construction works of the third section of the La Greve cable car.In fact, about a fortnight earlier, the barracks for the workers, the first machinery and an excavator for the installation of a cable car pylon had arrived by helicopter.The camp, how they write on their site the occupants belonging to the network of Soulèvement de la Terre, the radical ecological movement that the French government attempted to dissolve a few months ago, "testifies to the desire to put an end to the exploitation and artificialisation of the mountains, from the lands of the valleys to the glaciers.” The objective was also to make it clear that new resistance camps could return in the spring if the project is not definitively abandoned. Around 300 people passed through the site:the camp held up despite threa...
