Updates from Saja<\/strong><\/h2><p>The tree adoption campaign launched in 2021, and in 2022 we began planting many different species. What has happened since then? The trees are alive and continue to grow, despite a climate that has changed for the worse in recent years: rainfall has decreased and we have experienced extreme heat, with temperatures reaching <strong>47 \u00b0C<\/strong>. The chosen species and the ability to irrigate have allowed us to keep all the trees alive.   <\/p><div>&nbsp;<\/div><p>Saja&#8217;s goal is to leave something better behind: to produce food, which is essential because we too are part of this ecosystem, without taking away space, light, and energy from all the other life surrounding us.<\/p><div>&nbsp;<\/div><p>The area is located next to the <strong>Simeto River<\/strong>, which is in critical condition regarding both water quality and the species of trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants along its course. With its great biodiversity, Saja also acts as a seed source and a plant bank: species that once grew along the river and have now disappeared due to deforestation, grazing and summer fires continue to survive here, finding a space for themselves and for the wildlife passing through. <\/p><div>&nbsp;<\/div><p><em>\u201cTaking care of a tree is not simply doing it because someone pays you: it is embracing the idea that the tree will save us. I don&#8217;t know whether they will manage to save us: the point is to take care of something else, not only for oneself but also for others.\u201d<\/em> \u2014 <strong>Salvatore Giaccone<\/strong>, Saja<\/p><div>&nbsp;<\/div><p><b>Watch the update video<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfe60c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"cfe60c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/OhkhO_2N78I?si=kYzb1P7sdJJ9_T-9&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-30bb7a99\" data-id=\"30bb7a99\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1eebb8c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1eebb8c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-\" data-id=\"\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-\" data-id=\"\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element- elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-\" data-id=\"\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4d36ed2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4d36ed2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-151b83b\" data-id=\"151b83b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5d2aca1\" data-id=\"5d2aca1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0099523 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0099523\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>February 2021 \u2013 Updates from Saja<\/strong><\/h2><p>At the foot of Mount Etna, in Patern\u00f2 (CT), a group of people decided to turn a dream into reality: living and producing in harmony with nature.
