Mountain Partnership Event: Launch of The Living Chapel Friday 5 June at 5pm CEST on Facebook page
here Dear Mountain Partnership Members and Friends,
We are happy to invite you to join the launch event that we have planned with Mountain Partnership (MP) member The Living Chapel, which will be moderated by Lindsey Hook from the
MP communications team
and will include among the speakers the MP Chair, Andrea Macchioni and the FAO Forestry Assistant Director-General, Hiroto Mitsugi. The Living Chapel is an installation that brings together art, nature, biodiversity and music, and aims to inspire ‘acts of
ecological restoration’ across the world, according to its creators. Inspired by the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Pope Francis’s 2015 environmental encyclical Laudato
si’, the work is supported by FAO, the Mountain Partnership and UNEP, among others. The installation provides a temporary home to 2 500 saplings of 46 tree species from Central and Southern Europe, as well as
a collection of ancient fruit trees native to Italy’s Umbria region planted in recycled oil barrels. At the end of the summer, the seedlings nurtured by the Living Chapel will
be distributed throughout Italy to restore degraded lands and create new gardens. We encourage you to watch the event streaming live in English this Friday 5 June at 5pm CEST on their Facebook page
here. The programme is attached for your reference. We hope to ‘see’ you all there! Best regards, The Mountain Partnership Secretariat |
