The urgency is real. The time is now.
Basilicata is one of the Italian regions most exposed to environmental degradation, due to the abandonment of farmland and a high hydrogeological risk. These factors endanger biodiversity, accelerate soil degradation, and increase the risk of wildfires — with serious consequences for the environment and local communities.
To face these challenges, we need awareness, active participation, and concrete action — through an integrated approach that protects the land and promotes a sustainable future.
Today, Magnus Lucus safeguards and regenerates 33 hectares of land: 8 owned by the association e and 25 generously granted by local farmers..
Together with scientific partners such asUniversity of Bari e l’and ENEAwe experiment with concrete solutions to restore biodiversity, regenerate the soil, and build resilient communities..
