"The D'Annunziana pine forest... The D'Avalos park is in pitiful condition, and I'm not exaggerating. It's true that it's a nature reserve, but it's been abandoned, with dry, unkempt vegetation.
If humans shouldn't intervene because it's a reserve, why are there games and people allowed in?...with the risk of getting hurt, encountering snakes, rats, wild boars.... A little more care for this urban heritage. In other Italian regions, there aren't all these national parks or reserves, but nature is respected, cared for, protected, and enjoyed.
Why not learn?"
