Incendio in un bosco del Sud Italia - da Rainews24
23.08.2007 E' ancora allarme incendi nel Sud Italia con più di trenta interventi da parte dei vigili del fuoco di Calabria, Sicilia e Campania. Ieri un incendio doloso ha colpito la Riserva naturale marina di Torre Guaceto bruciando circa 100 ettari di canneto e macchia mediterranea. "Il ritardo dei comuni nella realizzazione del catasto delle aree percorse dal fuoco, soprattutto in Calabria e Sicilia, rappresenta un problema grave" – afferma Legambiente nel ribadire la necessità di intervenire in modo deciso sull’emergenza incendi praticando tolleranza zero verso i piromani. E la Lav ha chiesto al Ministro dell’Interno, Giuliano Amato, di dare disposizioni ai Prefetti affinché procedano al posto dei sindaci inadempienti alla mappatura delle zone incendiate e al Ministro della Giustizia, Clemente Mastella, di dare impulso alla magistratura inquirente affinché indaghi sui Comuni che non hanno provveduto alla realizzazione del catasto per individuare eventuali connivenze.

La Goletta Verde di Legambiente
19.08.2007 Il mare italiano è un po' più pulito e le spiagge che hanno superato a pieni voti gli esami della balneazione sono l’87,6% del totale. Ma la percentuale di acque fluviali che arrivano alla foce pulite si è pressoché dimezzata da un anno all’altro: era il 23,3% nel 2006, è il 13,6% quest’estate. E' il bilancio finale della Goletta Verde di Legambiente che avverte: ci sono 28 corsi d’acqua dove c’è una situazione di grave contaminazione, dove l’inquinamento batterico arriva a superare di oltre dieci volte i limiti imposti dalla normativa sulla balneazione. Dopo il crollo della terrazza della villa privata a Conca dei Marini, Legambiente denuncia che "la costiera è un enorme cantiere abusivo tollerato" e ribadisce l'allarme sull'abusivismo costiero riportato nel dossier "Mare Mostrum 2007".
