It is celebrated today all over the world 51st World Earth Day, possibly the largest international event of awareness of environmental sustainability and to the protection and safeguarding of the Planet among the many celebrated at every level. This year's theme is: repairing the damage. That is to worry not only about reducing our impact on the environment, but also about undoing the damage already done. Damages that we as frequenters of the woods and nature are well aware of, because who better than us hunters knows the territory and its criticalities? Neglect, abandonment, pollution, hydrogeological instability, overbuilding, anthropization ... they are all phenomena that we observe and undergo in person, not through the glossy pages of magazines or TV and PC screens.
And often, in our own small way, we work to try to fix it. Our love and attention for the Earth, whose fruits we enjoy and we collect with gratitude and respect, in a sustainable and regulated way, we express it every day, living the territory and protecting it, keeping alive the rites and values of rurality that were born and handed down around the link with nature.
Today, the great majority of those who observe this anniversary will celebrate it online, thinking they have contributed to "save" the earth and demonstrated its environmental sensitivity. Of us, who can, will do it by trampling the grass and stroking a tree trunk, breathing the air of a forest and listening to the sounds of life awakening, perhaps collecting the traces of civilization left by the passage of some "lover" of nature, probably waiting for the sunset after seeing the sunrise. Like every happy day of our life. The difference is clear to us. It is for you?
