The fire that devastated the external part of the Molentargius park the other night is of an intentional nature .
The investigators of the Forestry Corps are convinced of this and are working to identify those responsible.
Above all, the succession of fires in the same area is suspicious : two at a distance of 24/48 hours in the external part of the park, an evidence that behind the flames there is the hand of man.
According to a first estimate, the fire , promptly stemmed by teams of firefighters, forestry corps, civil protection and internal garrison of the park, devoured about 4 hectares of scrub and many reeds . You also pass some houses, evacuated as a precaution.
"The heavy damage is to the ecosystem - explains the manager of the Molentargius Park, Claudio Papoff - it will take several months for the reeds to reform. The environmental damage is above all linked to the death of some animals, such as tortoises, lizards and reptiles that in they generally react more slowly in the event of events such as those that have occurred. During the inspection, however, we did not find tortoise shells ".
"The response against the fire was immediate - he explains - but we must continue to work on the control and surveillance services of the park and make citizens understand how important it is for everyone to safeguard this heritage".
