The Alps
The Vaia storm of late 2018 devastated the Val di Fiemme forest in northern Italy, a historically significant source of tonewood for musical instruments. Fabio Ognibeni of Ciresa and other local manufacturers are working to salvage the fallen spruce trees, known for their resonant properties, to continue the tradition of crafting high-quality string instruments. The storm caused extensive damage across the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site, but efforts are underway to repurpose the wood and support reforestation. Federico Stefani's start-up, Vaia Wood, is creating smartphone speakers from the timber and planting a tree for each product sold. Local craftsmen like Giorgio Leonardelli are also involved in these conservation efforts, ensuring the forest's legacy endures for future generations.
The Sounds of the Alps
Monteviasco, a remote village in the Alpine foothills of Lombardy, Italy, remains isolated with only six permanent residents. The village, accessible only by a mule track, lost its cable car service in 2018 and faced further isolation after a 2020 landslide. The Carabinieri gendarmerie corps supplies essential goods to the residents. Despite the challenges, the community remains resilient, with locals like Augusto and Lucia Cassina deeply connected to the village. The only operating business, the restaurant Il Vecchio Circolo, continues to serve dedicated customers. The village's unique charm attracts tourists and former residents, helping to prevent complete depopulation.
The Sounds of the Alps
Johannes Pleschberger explores the Alpine landscape, highlighting the significant changes due to climate change, such as shrinking glaciers and shifting pasturelands. The Mer de Glace glacier is under protection, and farmers adapt to earlier springs. The Alps' ridges, marking the border between Italy and Switzerland, are becoming mobile due to melting glaciers, complicating the demarcation of national boundaries. Swisstopo uses watersheds to define borders on glaciers, but as glaciers melt, the borders shift. The Rifugio Guide del Cervino, managed by Lucio Trucco, now straddles the border due to glacial retreat. Switzerland and Italy have recognized

In Ukraine, railways are saving millions of people
Since the Russian invasion on February 24, 2022, Ukrainian Railways (UZ) has been instrumental in evacuating millions of people and delivering aid. European railway companies have responded by allowing refugees free transit and restoring old lines. UZ has also adapted to export agricultural products by rail due to the Black Sea blockade. Belarusian citizens have sabotaged railway infrastructure to hinder Russian military movements, and UZ has nationalized Russian freight wagons within Ukraine. The war's effects are also felt in non-involved countries like Latvia, with expected significant declines in rail freight traffic and port activity.
