The space we inhabit
Have you ever wondered what would you do if the place
you live in stopped being fit for humans? Where would you go?
The thought of this upsets me, because we would not
only have to find a new place to live in, but also to give up
the life as we know it and everything we’ve worked so hard
to achieve and protect. Now, this is a very apocalyptic thought indeed, but there is truth in it.
We love the place where we live and we’d like to give
something back to nature for its generosity, so as members
of Terra Peninsular, we’re committed to the preservation of
the natural beauty of the peninsula. This doesn’t mean that
we’re against urban development. We know that population growth implies cities to expand and basic needs to be
fulfilled to provide habitants with a standard quality of life.
Nevertheless, urban development can’t happen without regarding the sustainable use of the natural resources.
At Terra Peninsular, our vision is that these resources are
protected and managed sustainably and compatibly with
the ecological processes, but we know we can’t do this on
our own. This is why we seek to involve and engage the
community through actions that promote the conservation
and raise awareness about the sustainable use of the natural
resources and their positive impact on their living standards.
Currently, we’re facing a complicated environmental scenario, on that ground we’d like to ask you to join us and
support our conservation cause.
Every small action adds up to projects of greater scale. I
therefore invite you to go through the pages of Mediterranews to learn more about our conservation work and hope
you make up your mind today to take care of our home.

Executive Director of Terra Peninsular
