It was June 14th, a Sunday we will always remember. From that day on, everything changed. Fire hit our almond grove in the plains, in Sa Tanca, Tuili. This year's harvest went up in smoke, taking away months of work, sacrifice, and anticipation.

A message of pain and courage is launched by the Mandorle di Sardegna company, a leading producer in the Marmilla region that exports products worldwide. The fire has attacked the environmental heritage on which its entire business is based. The video accompanying the text is dramatically explicit: the green of the trees is surrounded by the black of the ash.

"Our trees are still there, but we don't know how many will actually recover. This year's harvest, and most likely next year's, are now compromised," he says. It will take time, patience, and a lot of work: "Constant care, pruning, and at least two or three seasons before the almond grove can return to its former state."

It's not the only business hit by the June 14th blaze: "Along with us, many other businesses and individuals were also brought to their knees: pastures, wheat fields, centuries-old olive trees. A devastating blow for our entire community."

But hope is gaining ground: "We've lost a harvest, and we have years of work ahead of us to revive our almond grove. But we won't lose the determination that has always accompanied us. We'll continue to care for our land with the same passion as always, confident that, one step at a time, we'll recover."
