"Abbiamo realizzato un nuovo esperimento sociale per scoprire quanti aiuterebbero una mamma e sua figlia in difficoltà. "Io Dono Fiducia" è la campagna di sensibilizzazione sul tema della povertà in Italia che colpisce, in maniera assoluta, 1 bambino su 8." - FADV.

When we think about deforestation our mind goes directly to the Amazon forest in South America. But there is another piece of untouched nature that is disappearing: the Swedish forest.

Under the new slogan “bioeconomy”, many industry sectors want to use more trees as raw material: fuel for cars, single-use packaging, drinking cartons, paper, house construction just to mention a few. Forests are called Green Gold.

Logging companies are buying the rights to clearcut forest land and nobody seems to be able to stop this process since the Swedish law protects just nature reserves or equivalent. Sometimes trees plantations replace the ancient forest but these monocoltures are not able to sustain the life of many species that are currently disappearing.

Only 4,7% of the Swedish land is protected by law. Research shows that at least 20% of the natural forest landscape needs to be preserved if a diversity of species are to survive. Many ngos, such as Greenpeace, are currently campaigning to convince the Swedish government to reach the goal of 20%.

Many people want to keep the forest alive for different reasons and stand against deforestation. They are portrayed in clear-cut areas or in old and untouched forest of Sweden and answered the question “Why do you care this forest?”

August 2013. On assignment for Save the Children in west Ethiopia (Konso).

I spent an unforgettable week among villages, health centre, hospitals, pregnant women, moschito nets and, mostly, children.

I saw, for the first time in my life, a woman releasing. It happened in a health centre, just two small rooms with no electricity in the middle of nothing.

Ethiopia 2013 for Save the Children.

In the Busso village, South-West Ethiopia, 100% of women receive medical assistance before, during and after giving birth.

I was surprised to see so many pregnant women attending the Save the Children maternity centre. Each of them had something special catching my attention (colors, eyes, smiles) so decided to take portraits.

Some of them were shy and didn't want to be photographed

The Rainbow Warrior is one of the most fascinating boats in the world.

Sailing all around the oceans, the Greenpeace vessel is the symbol of environmental protection.

The boat has an international crew that, often volunteering, take part in the spectacular actions against polluters.

But, what do these people look like? What do they do and what's their relationship with the boat? All of them has unique relationship with the boat and, also, a favorite object on board.

These portraits are about the crew on board during the Italian Tour of the Rainbow Warrior.

2010 has been a year with plenty of actions for Greenpeace Italy: Rainbow Warrior, Colosseum, Venice (from the boat and the helicopter)...and more.

25 years after the accident, some activists from Bhopal are in Italy to remember the worse industrial disaster in history.
