2010 was a catastrophic year for the palm trees of Crete:
The palm forest of Preveli river got burnt , in a few hours numerous 'Phoenix Theophrastii', an endemic cretan species mentioned since the ancient years, became ashes.
I couldn’t go to the forest right after the fire, it was difficult for me to see the burnt remains of a place I had memories since I was a child. I went some weeks afterwards when I heard that the palms got burnt externally, but their interior part started to blossom again.

Since the preparing period for the Olympic games of 2004 there has been another great catastrophe :
the intruder beatle 'Rhynchophorus ferrugineus' (red palm weevil) that came to Crete through palms from other countries, transferred here for the Olympic constructions, is threatening the palms of the island with total extinction |
 |
Hoping that nature will manage to find its balance again, but also fearing the extermination of palms by the weevil attack and the poor environmental protection by the state , I 'm waiting for time to show if palm trees will continue to exist on my island or if they will become a distant fading memory
