Sherryd (asker) Jul 17, 2007:
It is a list of problems in an environmental report, that are to be considered priorities. it says "bisogno di tutelare gli ambienti costieri ad elevata sensibilità" There is no more context.
James (Jim) Davis Jul 17, 2007:
"ad elevata sensibilità" a che cosa? Sherry, the kudoz instructions are to give as much context as possible. When I post a question, I usually put a couple of surrounding paragraphs, add in a note on my precise difficulty and get loads of answers ;-)
