The project aims to preserve the Cinque Terre territory and guarantee its security, restoring abandoned fields and dry-stone walls.
The Cinque Terre landscape is a product of human works during centuries. Terraces,
dry-stone walls are the method used to transform this steep territory in a cultivable and
livable place. Many of the terraced fields of the past collapsed due to the abandon of
territory in the last years. Cultivate the land here means hard daily work and no
mechanization.
The dry-stone walls have been identify as a useful way to contrast the climate change
effects. They help to drain the water when heavy rain occurs, keeping up the terraces
and preventing the landslides that can hit the villages, its inhabitants and visitors.
The donation will be used to increase the Foundation ability for 2 years to carry on vital
projects. Specifically every 100 euros of donation will allow us to rebuild a square meter
of drywall: we will cover the cost of purchasing stones from the quarry, transport by
helicopter and the work of our specialists.
