Tackling climate change: The Albarella island example
Fig 5
Upper part of the figure by Karine Bonneval, left: “Eating the Soil” where a human couple finds an eatable magical soil that takes them to a higher stage and transforms them into half-plant-half-human hybrid; right: “Se planter”, “plant yourself”, which in French also means “to make mistakes”. This is an invitation to imagine yourself rooted in the soil. Lower part, photographs by Augusto Zanella: the Po River transports woody materials which are then deposited on the banks of the river delta by sea waves. This phenomenon concerns the beach of Albarella and Caleri. From an ecological point of view, this is energy which gradually nourishes the dune system (underneath this wood, the soil becomes relatively dark and rich in organic matter, photo on the right). We would like to leave these dead woods in place in areas of the island with a more natural use.
