Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve, Italy
每年的四月二十二號都是世界地球日，而今年世界地球日的主題是氣候變化。雖然受疫情影響，但我地同樣可以利用自身的影響力，在社交媒體上表達我地對氣候變化的關注，令更多人正視氣候變化的相關議題。
借這個機會，我和大家介紹一下上年到過南意的這個Torre Guaceto Reserve。如果不是因為field trip的緣故，可能自己一世都不會到這個地方旅遊，始終這地方都比較偏遠。反正之前在Report寫過有關這保護區的文章，所以決定順道與大家分享這個保護區的故事，但就不多作翻譯了。
The Torre Guaceto Reserve and Marine Protected Area is very rich in biodiversity with its distinctive landscape. It is carefully managed by local authorities, NGOs and locals. Certain areas of the reserve prohibit human activities to prevent disturbances to the ecosystem.
A sea turtle veterinary hospital was established to take care of sick sea turtles. A total of 60,000 sea turtles have been treated and brought back to life by vets. Locals are invited to witness and celebrate recovered sea turtles returning to the nature. The local community is extremely supportive and enthusiastic in conserving aboriginal species. They respect the habitat and understand the importance of wildlife conservation. Together with the support from the NGO, they safeguard the vulnerable ecosystem of area.
This operation of reserve is sustainable and self-sufficient. All the income generated from parking fee and the renting of sunbathing tools are collected and they support the operation and conservation of the reserve. Torre Guaceto Reserve is now an important educational resource for both locals and tourists.
