Ante Scriptum - The bioregional idea essentially consists in resuming one's role within the wider community of living beings and in acting as part and not apart of it, correcting the behaviors induced by the affirmation of a global economic and political system , which has placed itself outside the laws of nature and is devastating, at the same time, nature itself and the human being. Bioregionalism is an implementation form of deep ecology. In the sense that deep ecology analyzes the functioning of the vital and geomorphological components and bioregionalism recognizes the territorial areas in which these components occur.
To give a concrete example: the general functioning of the living organism is understood through the recognition and study of its vital functions and the ways in which these functions manifest themselves and bioregionalism identifies the specific organs that provide for this functioning and the correlations between the organism and all the organs that compose it, describing its characteristics and their participation in the overall functioning.
So there is absolutely no difference between deep ecology and bioregionalism, there are only two ways, two insights, to understand and describe the life event.
Italo Carrarini wrote: “For the purposes of“ protecting ”the national forest heritage as an asset of significant public interest, we want to introduce“ active management ”to be implemented through silviculture in a generalized manner. The autonomous nature of forest ecosystems, their natural evolution and complexity is not recognized by the state and, with the attention paid only to immediate industrial economic exploitation, the way opens up for a process of speculation on timber, a harbinger of artificialization, fragility. , simplification and ugliness of the Italian woods and forests. "
The continuous depletion of the sylvan eco-system would, of course, have a consequence on the soils, on the purity of the air, on the quality of life and on the health of all living beings.
Furthermore, the problem does not only concern the cutting of timber in the remaining forests but also the continuous felling of trees in urban areas and along state, provincial and municipal roads, with the excuse of hypothetical damage to traffic or due to building needs. The planet breathes through the vegetation which, taking up the above example, represents the lung of the Earth.

"For those who would endanger the forest
The spirits of the felled trees,
the spirits of the plants, the spirits of the moss, the spirits of the rock
they give you hell
without birds, an arid escort hell where
your name will not be known -
you will be known as desolation,
destroyer of planets, lonely soul who
lives without the friendship of life,
without the comfort of the species -
the ghosts of those you have
put aside they will just follow you
you will move towards dryness, dust
and empty skies -
certainly goodness and mercy
they will leave your miserable life untouched,
as if you lived forever in
a land without life,
trying to remember the sound
of the birds, the sound of the wind,
the sound of your heart."
