Photo @lucalocatelliphoto "Don't be afraid, brush it with your fingers, let its autumn leaves give your skin the chills". Valeria, the last mermaid of Capo Carbonara (southern Sardinia), teaches human beings not to be afraid of the dark shadow of the Posidonia oceanica meadows, an underwater reserve of oxygen threatened by trawling, acidification of the water and the anchors of boats. In the last 50 years, the meadows have regressed by 34% in the Mediterranean Sea and by 25% along the Italian coasts. Reforestation initiatives are already underway which will allow fish to find refuge again. And for Valeria, not to leave her home. NATURE IS SAVED WITH NATURE Follow MY EARTH IS BEATING #myEIB, a photo collection for climate by @luisaviaroma and #LVRSustainable. Coordinated and shot by @NatGeo photographer @lucalocatelliphoto, shot by @NatGeo photographer @gabrielegalimbertiphoto, narrated by the journalist and curator @raffaelepanizza. For the next few days @luisaviaroma will be in Sardinia with @extremeelive and @medsea_foundation to tell the story of the climate crisis through two phenomena emblematic of the environmental wound of the Mediterranean: the fires and the withdrawal of the posidonia prairie. WHEN THE EARTH BEATS, OUR HEARTS LISTEN. What about yours?
