From Saturday 1 February the "Lands of Water" of Maristanis host the celebrations of the World Wetlands Day, an event that for twenty years has been promoting the enormous natural heritage gravitating around the sites protected by the 1971 Ramsar International Convention. The MEDSEA foundation, which has been involved in the Maristanis project since 2017, has once again gathered for this special occasion the generous commitment of municipalities, bodies and associations that daily live the Oristano wetlands. Two days of meetings, debates, photographic contests, workshops and guided tours that will unveil the treasure hidden among reeds and rushes, the surprising animal multitude dwelling pools of water and small, vast trimmings of the sky. How to articulate the needs of fishing and those of the environment, as to find a balance capable of producing wealth? What millennial history can be perceived in building a “fassone”, the ancient boat of the lagoons? How universal can an osprey dive be, when it is preserved in one photograph? How much beauty exists in waiting in silence for the cranes to return to the banks of the pond at sunset? Two days to travel in time and space, two days to understand, imagine and live a new relationship with nature.
