This is how <strong>Ettore Chiavassa<\/strong> likes to define himself, lover and great connoisseur of the <strong>Roero in its most authentic version<\/strong>, the natural, wild one. Those who know him know that there <strong>is no more apt definition<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Ettore&#8217;s is a <strong>figure that struck me from the first meeting<\/strong>. After a career as a bank manager, he chose to devote <strong>his retirement<\/strong> to <strong>environmental protection<\/strong> and his <strong>passion for nature<\/strong>, from rediscovering ancient fruits to <strong>observing flora and fauna<\/strong> in the very forests where <strong>he spent his summers<\/strong> since childhood. <\/p>\n\n<p>We meet at cocktail hour to have a leisurely chat about <strong>projects<\/strong>, visions, hopes, difficulties, facts and perceptions in the <strong>field of nature and environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s start with your involvement with Canale Ecologia: when was the association born and what is it about?<\/h4>\n\n<p><span class=\"uppercase--md\">Ettore<\/span> \u2014 Ecology Channel was born <strong>more than 30 years ago<\/strong> thanks to <strong>a group of forward-thinking and somewhat visionary people <\/strong>, at a <strong>time when there was little or no talk about the environment<\/strong>. It was a &#8220;pigeon&#8217;s egg,&#8221; a <strong>simple but ingenious<\/strong> idea: to buy forests, fortresses and the <strong>natural areas of the Roero <\/strong>to protect them. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape-lg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"875\" src=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_1561091794755-1400x875.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-282143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_1561091794755-1400x875.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_1561091794755-900x563.jpg 900w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_1561091794755-550x344.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ettore Chiavassa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>It started with a handful of hectares, then over time the <strong>initiative grew<\/strong>, thanks in part to the help of entities such as Germany&#8217;s <strong>Nature Life International<\/strong> and the support of the area through municipalities, banks, and various institutions. Today we take care of about <strong>50 hectares of wilderness and biodiversity<\/strong>, including the iconic <strong>Roero fortresses<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>Ours is <strong>a long-term vision<\/strong>; we try to <strong>accompany<\/strong> and accelerate, where possible, the <strong>process of natural regeneration of the forest.<\/strong> The idea is simple: give a push today so that <strong>nature can walk on its own tomorrow<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>It is slow work, the fruits of which we will not see firsthand, our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren will see.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p>The other cornerstones and pillars of the association&#8217;s activities are <strong>information<\/strong>, outreach and <strong>education<\/strong>. We do a lot of <strong>outdoor education<\/strong> work in short, through activities we carry out with <strong>schools<\/strong>, the <strong>social welfare consortium<\/strong> and day care centers. <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the greatest difficulties you encounter in carrying out your activities?<\/h4>\n\n<p><span class=\"uppercase--md\">Ettore<\/span> \u2014 One of the biggest is <strong>finding the owners of so many small, scattered, often forgotten plots<\/strong> of land: woods, meadows, pieces of fortresses that <strong>no one claims anymore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>The other difficulty is definitely related to finding <strong>new human resources<\/strong>, we struggle with the generational transition, especially the intermediate one between our generation and the next generation, which is<strong> very promising<\/strong>, we see it when we are in schools, there is interest, curiosity and a great <strong>spirit of observation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can we do today to protect and preserve the landscape heritage of the Roero?<\/h4>\n\n<p><span class=\"uppercase--md\">Ettore<\/span> \u2014 The greatest risk today is the trend toward monoculture. We have moved <strong>from a peasant civilization to an agricultural entrepreneurship <\/strong>that focuses on hazelnuts and vines: profitable crops, sure, but they challenge the<strong>natural balance<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape-lg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"875\" src=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Fratelli-Novara-Vigneti-1400x875.jpg\" alt=\"Vineyards\" class=\"wp-image-193400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Fratelli-Novara-Vigneti-1400x875.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Fratelli-Novara-Vigneti-900x563.jpg 900w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Fratelli-Novara-Vigneti-550x344.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vineyard in Cisterna d&#8217;Asti<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p>We need an approach with a broader vision: we need to<strong> interweave culture and nature<\/strong>, combine traditions and biodiversity, landscape and folklore. I like to think of Roero as <strong>a big country made up of many small parishes<\/strong>: it is time to intensify collaborations and have one voice. <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>It would take a <strong>super partes body that can give coherence and vision <\/strong>to the many local initiatives.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is there a project you particularly care about that you&#8217;d like to talk about? <\/h4>\n\n<p><span class=\"uppercase--md\">Ettore<\/span> \u2014 I am working on the creation of <strong>a new route<\/strong>: it will be called <em>Gran Traverso del Roero<\/em> (GTR). It will be a sort of <strong>43-kilometer-long spine <\/strong>that <strong>will connect Sommariva del Bosco<\/strong>, the tip of the Roero, with Guarene, its <strong>balcony over the Langhe<\/strong>, and then descend to Piazza del Duomo in Alba, the <strong>nerve center of <\/strong>the area. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape-md\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_16028832439293_edit_29294069710634-1-900x563.jpg\" alt=\"Ettore Chiavassa\" class=\"wp-image-282159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_16028832439293_edit_29294069710634-1-900x563.jpg 900w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/FB_IMG_16028832439293_edit_29294069710634-1-550x344.jpg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The idea is that of <strong>a loop trail<\/strong>, although at first glance it does not seem so.

A route that crosses plains, low hills, fortresses and vineyards, offering a <strong>real concentrate of the Roero landscape.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n\n<p>We have just completed the <strong>design<\/strong> phase. If all goes as we hope, it will be <strong>up and running next fall<\/strong>, in collaboration with CAI and all the organizations that <strong>would like to help spread and support <\/strong>the project. <\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can we really strike a balance between wildlife and human activities?<\/h4>\n\n<p><span class=\"uppercase--md\">Ettore<\/span> \u2014 For me, being ecological means <strong>taking into account everyone<\/strong>: nature, agriculture, animal husbandry, avoiding <strong>radical positions<\/strong>. Nature tends toward balance, but <strong>you need to know it<\/strong>. Conflicts with wildlife such as deer, wild boar, wolves <strong>often arise from a lack of information<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape-lg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"875\" src=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Lupo-articolo-Langhe-1400x875.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-282155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Lupo-articolo-Langhe-1400x875.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Lupo-articolo-Langhe-900x563.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Lupo-articolo-Langhe-550x344.jpeg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The wolf, for example, is a <strong>natural regulator<\/strong>. It does not multiply indefinitely: each pack chooses a territory, marks it, defends it, and <strong>adapts to the availability of prey<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>In the Roero, where there is an abundance of wildlife, wolves pass through, but <strong>they have not yet established themselves<\/strong>. I have been monitoring them for years, even at night, and I know that they can <strong>travel more than 50 km in a single night<\/strong>. No more than 4 or 5 families could live together here.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Even with wild boars, a <strong>scientific approach<\/strong> is needed: removing matriarchs, for example, <strong>destabilizes groups<\/strong> and increases their reproduction. The same happens with wolves: remove a pack leader and the <strong>pack becomes disoriented<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<p>This is how problems and fears, often amplified, arise. The presence of wolves, if monitored, is an <strong>important signal of biodiversity<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>Coexistence is possible, as long as we<strong> are well informed<\/strong> and take actions with awareness and knowledge<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let me ask you something: what&#8217;s it like walking through the woods at night?<\/h4>\n\n<p><span class=\"uppercase--md\">Ettore<\/span> \u2014 The forest at night is something<strong> extraordinary and surreal<\/strong>, it is an <strong>environment that accepts you<\/strong>. When you are inside it you are <strong>enriching the biodiversity of that forest<\/strong>, you are a living species like any other. It&#8217;s <strong>about inclusiveness<\/strong>, and that&#8217;s why you should not panic but <strong>indulge in a vigilant fear<\/strong>, a borderline point <strong>between courage and unconsciousness<\/strong>.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-landscape-lg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"875\" src=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Bosco-notte-articolo-1400x875.jpeg\" alt=\"Night in the forest\" class=\"wp-image-282163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Bosco-notte-articolo-1400x875.jpeg 1400w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Bosco-notte-articolo-900x563.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/langhe.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Bosco-notte-articolo-550x344.jpeg 550w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The forest changes your <strong>intimate and spiritual perception<\/strong>, but also physical,<strong> the senses are enhanced<\/strong>, there is an <strong>almost psychedelic<\/strong> effect, distorted, amplified, for example in the <strong>volume of a hedgehog<\/strong> falling from a plant or in hearing verses or micro-movements. <\/p>\n\n<p>Then there is the <strong>question of light<\/strong>: the eye <strong>gets used to darkness <\/strong>and spots details that you might not notice in the daytime. <\/p>\n\n<p>With the full moon then, this feeling is enhanced until it takes on an <strong>almost mystical, magical, fairy-tale-like character<\/strong> imbued with suggestion. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ettore Chiavassa is a lover and great connoisseur of the Roero in its most authentic and wild version.
