Ten Wolves, Two Woods: Poison in the Home of Abruzzo’s Bear
Four hundred wolves. Four national parks. One recovering ecosystem. And ten wolves poisoned this week to punish it for recovering.
Abruzzo is a region worth caring about — and that means staying informed, getting involved, and sometimes speaking up. Community & Advocacy covers the issues that shape daily life here: local governance, environmental challenges, social initiatives, and the rights and realities of living in Abruzzo as a foreign national. We report with balance and context, but we won’t shy away from calling things out when communities are being let down, overlooked, or pushed around. Because belonging somewhere means more than just living there. It means showing up for it.
