  • Dear Secretary Salazar: I Strongly
    Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

    An immersive walk with Mimmo Tailor-made Card 1 Hashtags: #alberobello #trulli #food #walking #likealocal #nowherelse #indigenus Duration: half-day Location: Alberobello Description Almost everyone knows what a “trullo” is but perhaps only a few do actually know why a building should have such weird structure and why they are typical of this area. What almost nobody knows is why we are so proud of a village like Alberobello and that is why we offer an experience with Mimmo, our local friend and great connoisseur of the Apulian traditions. He will drive you through narrow streets and alleys that he knows as his own pocket, tell you anecdotes and fun facts of the village so that you will jump in the past having a sense of what it feels like to be Apulian. You will delve into the authentic life of the village and, together with Mimmo, you will have the chance to visit a private trullo-museum, which is very uncommon since trulli always have a private owner and it is so hard to walk in. As a successful completion of the experience you will taste some traditional food specialties and a glass of local wine, getting even more familiar with the Apulian slow-living style. www.indigenus.it Matera, the cultural capital of 2019 Tailor-made Card 2 Hashtags: #walking #culture #sassi #nowherelse #borgoegnazia #indigenus #borgoegnazia Duration: half-day Location: Matera Description If you try to compare Matera to other places in the world you would never find a similar city. Matera is a unique setting, an entire town that lies in a small canyon carved out by the Gravina.

  • Development, Management and Economy of Show Caves
    In!. J. SpeleoI.. 29 B (1/4) 2000: I - 27 DEVELOPMENT, MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMY OF SHOW CAVES Arrigo A. CIGNA International Show Caves Association Scientific Advisor to the President Ezio BURRI Dept. of Environmental Sciences University of L'Aquila ABSTRACT The problems concerning the development of show caves are here considered by taking into account different aspects of the problem. A procedure to carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been established in the last decade and it is now currently applied. Such an assessment starts with a pre-opera- tional phase to obtain sufficient information on the undisturbed status of a cave to be devel- oped into a show cave. Successively a programme for its development is established with the scope to optimise the intervention on the cave at the condition that its basic environmental parameters are not irre- versibly modified. The last phase of the assessment is focussed to assure a feedback through a monitoring network in order to detect any unforeseen difference or anomaly between the pro- ject and the effective situation achieved after the cave development. Some data on some of the most important show caves in the world are reported and a tenta- tive evaluation of the economy in connection with the show caves business is eventually made. Introduction Nearly twenty years ago, two great experts of cave management, Russell and Jeanne Gurnee (1981), wrote: "The successful development and operation of a tourist cave depends on a combination of factors, including 1) Scientific investigation 2) Art 3) Technology 4) Management Scientific study is recommended at the beginning of the first phase in order to deter- mine what hydrologic and geologic factors may have an influence on the develop- 2 Arrigo A.

  • Geomechanical Characterization of Carbonate Rock Masses in Underground Karst Systems: a Case Study from Castellana-Grotte (Italy)
    Geomechanical characterization of carbonate rock masses in underground karst systems: a case study from Castellana-Grotte (Italy) Mario Parise 1, Maria Addolorata Trisciuzzi 2 1 National Research Council, IRPI, Via Amendola 122-I, 70126 Bari, Italy e-mail: [email protected] 2 Technical University, Engineering Faculty of Taranto, Italy ABSTRACT Analysis of the stability conditions of rock masses in underground karst systems involves a study of the breakdown processes that acted during the formation of the caves, integrated with a survey of the present conditions of the walls and roof. Especially in show caves, and in caves frequently visited by speleologists and researchers, evaluating the susceptibility related to rock falls is of paramount importance. In this contribution we presents the results of a research carried out at the Castellana-Grotte show caves (Apulia, southern Italy), where we performed a geomechanical characterization of the carbonate rock mass, aimed at obtaining the necessary data for up-to-come stability analysis. The role played by gravity-related processes in shaping the karst systems, and contributing to the evolution of the caves as they appear today, is well evident throughout the whole underground system: the entrance is a wide opening at the ground surface, due to roof collapse as the extreme consequence of the upward propagation of instability mechanisms. Similar features, which however do not reach the surface, are also visible in many other rooms of the system. Our study started by mapping the fallen blocks, and measuring the main morphometric parameters, at the same time performing observations on the weathered surfaces, and ascertaining the presence of secondary deposits on the blocks.
