No. 5/2020 - 6/2020   | | Miar zöglen! That’s what they say in Liechtenstein when you move, in our case to a new office. Folders, desks and screens will find a new home just two streets away, and we are really looking forward to it. You will be receiving the next newsletter from there. By the way, we are always happy to receive your mailings, including by post to our new address: Kirchstrasse 5, 9494 Schaan. See you soon in our new office, Your alpMedia team | 
Personal, visual, social: this is how we communicate the climate crisis more effectively. Around 250 people discussed language, psychology and social media in the online conference “Tell stories, prick up your ears, make contacts”. |
Point of view |  | During the lockdown due to the corona pandemic, mountain areas have gained in importance as places of retreat. In order to be able to fulfil this role better in the future, they must be strengthened and digitally networked, demands Vanda Bonardo, President of CIPRA Italy. |
News from the CIPRA
|  | EU transport ministers want to reach an agreement on the new Eurovignette Directive for transit traffic by the end of September 2020. CIPRA International and the "iMonitraf!" network are therefore calling for rapid agreement to ease the burden on humans and nature. |  |
What do young people think about climate change in the Alps? This is the main theme of the Alpine Week Intermezzo, due to take place in Nice in December 2020. |  | The Alpe-Adria cycle path or the Eurovelo routes: in the Alps there already exist cross-border long-distance cycle paths, but there is not yet a route through all the Alpine countries. A project to test the feasibility of a Velo Alpina wants to change this. |  | Climate protector and habitat, recreational area and timber supplier: forests have many functions, both in the natural ecosystem and for humans. CIPRA Slovenia's “GozdNega / Forest Care” project aims to convince forest owners of the benefits of climate-friendly management. |  | In the Alps, too, the question now arises as to what will happen after the corona crisis. As part of its development of new projects, CIPRA conducted a survey to gain an impression of the current mood. |
News from the Alps |  | Cheese, meat and honey – these and other products from the mountains must meet certain EU requirements to be allowed to bear the “mountain product” quality label, introduced by the EU in 2014. A recent study shows whether and how this term has become established. |  | For centuries, mules and horses have transported goods in mountainous regions. What used to be the only means of transport has nowadays mostly been replaced by helicopter. A nature park in Piedmont, Italy, is now organising the delivery of goods to mountain huts by mule, while environmentally friendly alternatives to helicopters are also being tested elsewhere. |  | Slovenia’s government wants to restrict the right of civil society to have a say in controversial construction projects. Other Alpine countries are also pursuing location policies at the expense of the environment. |  | Trees instead of parking spaces and support for the population during hot spells – with a total of 19 measures like these, the city of Merano/I is countering the effects of climate change. Experts, interest groups and young people have worked together to develop the strategy. |

More... | Strange but true... ...Many are drawn to the mountains for a micro-adventure at the weekend or after work – out of a love for nature and in search of solitude. All it takes is a tent, some beer and a disposable barbecue in a backpack. The narrow gravel road uphill is no problem for the SUV as you quickly pass some e-bikers on the way to the hiking car park. It is full, but fortunately there is still space along the road on the meadow. Nobody’s going to check at this time. After the half-hour mountain tour, the view to the lake finally opens up – click, click, Instapic! Red, green and yellow plastic tents crowd the shore, with “No camping” signs in between. Now pitch the tent, light the coals and put the sausages on the grill. It smells of adventure, smoke and a touch of chemistry. Crack open a cold beer and enjoy the view. Too bad that there are no animals to be seen. But the sound from the beatboxes fits perfectly with the sunset. Ouch! But you wouldn't have expected mosquitoes at this altitude. #naturelove #bestdayever
