Pompili has focused on the role of local associations and communities, for these objectives. “We can do the most beautiful laws in the world, if it is not included in the local one will not reach it,” she said, calling on “all of the elect of the coast” to sign the charter, “a project easy enough for an entry in ecology,” she says.
