Humus per la Biosfera – Oak Protection on Mt. Egitto
52 monumental oaks on the lateral Etna crater Mt. Egitto are still in risk of death caused by the shadowing young pine trees, planted in between. Giacche Verdi Bronte and the Manfred‐Hermsen‐ Stiftung achieved that the threatened oaks were released by a first pine cutting five years ago. Now we re‐start the pressure on the responsible institutions for a (second) cut of surrounding pines. Our methods are dialogues accompanied by public awareness, e.g. by newspaper and tv reports and scientific surveys.
Project
Our Indian trainee, the biology student Himanshu conducted a comparative biodiversity study under the supervision of GV’s collaborator Dott. Salvatore Vinciguerra – and presented it to all the
volunteers.
