“Il Vesuvio under attack.
Behind the flames of these days there are hands driven by criminal interests that are attacking the natural heritage and biodiversity and threatening the safety of citizens.The dynamic is always the same: fires are set in different points of the Park, in some cases in the same place so that the flames blaze simultaneously, making it difficult for those who have to intervene”.
Thus in a note Mariateresa Imparato, president Legambiente Campania on the fires that have hit the area in recent days Vesuvio.
“Under the acrid smell of burning trees – he continues – there is the unbearable stench of corruption, of interests that conflict with the work of prevention, safeguarding of ecosystems and enhancement of protected areas carried out by Italian Parks.
According to the latest Ecomafia report by Legambiente, in 2023 in Campania 1.955 hectares were burned, the third region in Italy hit by criminal flames with 355 crimes reported and 28 people reported”.
