90 kilometres northeast of Milan, Italy, on the border with Switzerland, is a small municipality called Val Masino.⛰️ I’m not known for my nimbleness, so I would never have usually come across this area that has become famous internationally for its popularity among free climbers into alpinism and bouldering. That is if it weren’t for a post by Amedeo Cavalleri, in which he tells us of an enormous animal from Lombard folklore called a Gigiat or Gigiàtt. Taking the form of a giant goat, its name meaning “strange thing” in the local dialect, the Gigiat has been described both as benevolent and friendly, and as dangerous and vindictive.🐐 This huge creature caught my attention not only for its mythological history, but also since it is said to act as a guardian of the lands at the base of the Alps, judging those who live in and traverse them: it will act kindly towards those who respect the land, and will punish those who don’t. As Amedeo explains, through a brilliant initiative called “L’occhio del Gigiat” (“The Eye of the Gigiat”) those traversing the land will face an enormous eye affixed to the slopes of the mountain with the phrase “Vi vedo” (“I’m watching you”) – the local authorities have been using this folkloric legend to remind climbers and tourists of the need to respect nature as they enjoy it. Pretty great way to teach people about local traditions and the importance of practising respectful touristic habits, don’t you think? Do you know of any similar legends or stories from where you live?♻️ Grazie ancora a Amedeo Cavalleri e zeroCO2 per i vostri post! #litranslators #sustainability #climatecrisis #environment **This was originally written in English.

THE CANARY STRATEGY https://lnkd.in/equ6Zpdf https://lnkd.in/eP9gnEjf On September 14th, the mining association "Santa Barbara de Mieres" will organize a historical trip. Along the itinerary the 120 participants will be immersed in the rich heritage of the old Asturian Basque Railway. At all intermediate stations there will be an explanation of the historical context. Due to the great demand, the tickets for this tour are already sold out!!! Thanks to this activity, the tracks between Trubia and Baiña (via Fuso de la Reina), will be given a new life. Since 2009, this "section" has been closed. The current "Caudal" line C8 is limited to Baiña. However, this is a PARTICULAR INITIATIVE with hardly any support from the Central Government. Therefore, the future of the tracks between Trubia and Baiña will remain uncertain after September 14. In order to establish a PERMANENT service, it is recommended to take a look at its contemporary and French counterpart: The little yellow train (le petit train jaune). Its color earned it the nickname "canary" from the locals. This tourist product contains some outstanding features. Here are the pillars of the so-called CANARY STRATEGY: In the center, the "immaterial" railway service is placed. The railway service is rounded off by 3 CIRCLES. Each one symbolizes another level within the common planning: 1) SERVED ONES: this height is the closest to the service provided. They are usually LOCAL CITIZENS who use it on a daily basis. The focus for this will be to increase daily comfort. Through "INTERMODALITY" a CONVENIENT TRANSFER is offered. At the terminus stations of the small train (Villefranche and Latour-de-Carol) there is the possibility to continue by other trains. 2) KNOWN ONES: The middle circle. As the name indicates, these are individuals who know the destination: either national citizens or visitors who have an "incomplete" vision of the tourist offer. The historical train "Trubia- Baiña" can be integrated to the other attractions such as the pre-Romanesque churches, etc. The Occitanie region promotes the use of its tourist trains (yellow and red train): The routes are listed on a stamp card that offers discounts at the entrance of other monuments and attractions. 3) LOST ONES: The furthest level. It concerns people with very fuzzy knowledge. They have not yet heard of the region. An internet search is supposed to be the first discovery. A strong international brand may attract them. Maybe, by visualizing photos of the region, the "lost ones" will fall in love with it and will pay a visit. In line with the little yellow train, the Asturian tourist train also takes over a color. For example, green, which refers to the surrounding nature. A network of different colored tourist trains can be developed by multiple countries. From each route, a pin is used as a souvenir.

Indeed! Its sad state of civilization. There is an acute need of "Environment Police" force. The 'freedom' achieved 75 years back is too much to handle. General population continue to wish that someone must "rule" and "control". Self-governance is far-fetched. Under CSR, not just money but man hours also required to be allocated and accounted. Graduation, Post graduation learning to include Social Responsibility as a subject. All Indian service people to give certain man hours for physical work in this area. Dirty your hands and legs. You are not Englishman. Be the son of soil on soil. Sadly, the executives and managers are not extending their hands nor showing willingness to participate beyond money.
