The initiative “<\/em>A pillow for coexistence<\/strong><\/em><\/strong>” launched by the Aree Protette Alpi Marittime within the framework of the LIFE WolfAlps EU project and with the support of Io non ho paura del lupo APS<\/em> is drawing to a close.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The valorisation of wool<\/strong><\/strong> is a concrete tool to provide sheep shepherds with new perspectives<\/strong><\/strong>, as their sheep are undoubtedly among the most vulnerable prey to wolf attacks<\/strong><\/strong>. Thanks to the study \u201cLana che fare?\u201d<\/a> on the Italian wool sector, with a focus on the Alpine arc and the Ligurian-Piedmontese Apennines, carried out by Luisa Vielmi, naturalist and difesAttiva<\/a> technician, we tried to identify the limits and opportunities for the development of the wool product. Therefore, with the idea of creating a virtuous circle that would bring raw wool from the pasture into our homes<\/strong><\/a> 1,300 kilos of greasy wool were collected from four farms in the protected area of Piedmont. This wool was then processed at Biella The Wool Company<\/strong><\/a> and transformed into comfortable, soft cushions for pets thanks to the work of some passionate artisans in the Langhe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
