Street School is a voluntary association that promotes environmental education and accompanies those who adhere to its initiatives observation Rivoli Avigliana moraine hill, just beyond the suburbs of Turin . An area of \u200b\u200bwoodland, which once you get firewood and chestnuts, and now is mostly frequented by those who want to leave the city for a few hours. More than a city park than a forest wilderness. School Street argues, rightly, that the best practice that allows you to make contact with the natural environment is to walk. So I asked them questions about what watch as they walk:
I read that the observations are conducted by the method of 3 observers . What is ?
The classroom is the Way to the territory and the textbook is to browse the environment. The method of observers is a process of environmental interpretation carried out by three points of view.
natural The observatory is the observation of an ecosystem in terms of ecological relationships that occur. The observatory anthropic analyze human activities according to their degree of unsustainability. Sustainability is subject to ongoing review as it is dependent on technological change and its environmental impact. The observatory desert takes place in an environment that evokes the desert and prepares the merger, such as a barren prairie, where the focus is on the meaning of the individual in relation to the world.
In 2011 School Street will attempt a summary of the Theatre of metamorphosis, and will stage the change in the way of conceiving and treating the living. The representation, The Legend of Monte Cuneo, will be held May 28 in the woods of Monte Cuneo, to Avignon. On the site http://scuolapervia.blogspot.com you can find more information.
In your view, what is the state of the environment on morainic hill Rivoli Avigliana?
There are parts of it intact. The hill has been heavily shaped by man.
In your view, what activities they display human disturbance to wild animals? I noticed that there are many cyclists, more attentive to the performance that the nature trails on the hill.
The more damage it causes the loss of land, building development seen as horizontal. The dispersion device housing, which is the opposite of urban concentration, harm the environment because it removes habitat for plant and animal communities, concrete and asphalt make ever more extensive tailings areas, and erect barriers to the movement of animals. Not only that, the obligation to provide services and supplies, consumes more land and more fragmented ecosystems.
What are the animal and plant species more representative of the hilly moraine? Have you noticed changes in wildlife population?
sighted almost daily and the buzzard, a bird of prey and returns to be large, often feel the drumming the woodpecker, it is common to encounter the red squirrel, vole tracks are often found, a wild rodent, entry holes holes, and remains open nuts.
Last winter we found deer tracks in the snow.
But for years no longer see the great crested newt pond Pessina and the survival of amphibians surveyed in 2007 (Bufo bufo, Rana Dalmatian and Rana lessonae) is compromised by the proximity of parking and a picnic area with barbecue.
Also nearby (in the unfortunate position on a highly frequented path) we can see the opening hole of a comprehensive rate which, however, as night the day is well hidden.
friends to school because I have observed that living near a forest has a certain charm and rightly so I point out that nature lovers overlap their aesthetic and emotional needs with environmental goals. Instead, plans should be strictly separated to avoid compromising the assessment status of the natural environment.
Finally, I note the conference "Millions of living forms? NEVER TOO! "By Prof. Renato Massa on www.giovediscienza.org , which explores these themes with great skill and simplicity.
