An aerial view of the flock of sheep and goats ascending from Montello to the Belluno Alps for the traditional spring transhumance on May 10, 2025 in Follina, Italy. Samuele, the shepherd of the sheeps, is assisted by Tommaso from La Schirata and two young workers from Senegal. The team walks alongside the flock, reviving an ancient pastoral tradition rooted in resilience, collaboration, and intimate knowledge of the mountainous terrain.Nestled in the Dolomites, La Schirata is a family-run farm led by Giuseppe and his son Tommaso, who raise goats, horses, and dogs, producing high-quality goat cheeses. Founded by Giuseppe, his late wife Carla, passed 4 months ago, and their son Tommaso, the farm embodies the passion for horses and dedication to the family’s vision. Tommaso is also a member of the Pascolando Cooperative in Val Morel, a pioneering model for resilient alpine farming. Dolomite communities are increasingly threatened by mass tourism and climate change, which put immense pressure on the region, with data indicating that the Dolomites have experienced an increase in average temperatures of 1.5°C since 1970 and a significant reduction in snow cover, the retreat of glaciers in particular of the Marmolada glacier has reached alarming levels, while tourist hotspots are often crowded with visitors who even last summer were seeking refreshment, and communities are finding and experimenting with adapting to change and investing in sustainable practices for tourism as well.
