Mothers of the Land of Fire Protest Environmental Destruction in Italy

In Italy, a group of environmental activists and families who have lost children to cancer are raising awareness about the state of their country's environment, particularly focusing on the substandard waste disposal practices. This issue was highlighted in this week's episode of 'One Home, One Land.' Additionally, reports indicate that recent rains have increased the water level of Lake Urmia by about 30 centimeters. Does this make it easier to revive the lake? The President of the National Cancer Association recently announced that cancer will soon become a major problem in the country. Now, the Deputy Minister of Health states that a 'Cancer Treatment Office' has been established. According to statistics from the Ministry of Health, cancer is responsible for at least 30,000 deaths annually in Iran, but the same ministry claims that the situation is not yet dire and that cancer rates in the country are lower than in many others, possibly including Italy, where official statistics show an increasing cancer rate in the south. Some environmental activists in Italy are researching and working to find a connection between the environmental situation in Italy and the rising cancer statistics in their country. One of these groups, which has gained more recognition, is called 'Mothers of the Land of Fire,' founded by mothers who have lost their children to cancer in southern Sicily and the Naples area. They are working on a project called 'The Land in My Hands,' aiming to awaken the collective conscience of Italian society and keep hope alive for families who have lost children to cancer. They believe that a group in their country has started a business related to waste management, and despite receiving substantial funding to dispose of waste harmlessly, they are actually abandoning waste in nature. The water level of Lake Urmia has increased by 30 centimeters. 'The return of vital signs to Lake Urmia' was the news from the Environmental Protection Agency and many news agencies on Wednesday. These vital signs, according to officials, have come from recent rains that have caused the lake's water to rise by 30 centimeters. The situation of this lake was previously described as very critical, but now, with snow and rain in the area, the National Wetlands Protection Plan manager says there is renewed hope for saving the lake, although the situation remains critical. To save Lake Urmia, which is in a critical condition, a revival headquarters has been established, and based on this, 26 proposals for its salvation have been approved, with some already being implemented. One of these proposals is a sustainable agricultural development plan to save Lake Urmia, which is said to have started in May of this year. The goals of this plan include a 35% reduction in the exploitation of groundwater and surface water resources, a reduction in chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and the use of plants that consume less water. Officials claim that after seven months of implementation, good results have been achieved.
