The value of estuarine and coastal ecosystemsAna Arache
This document discusses the value of ecosystem services provided by estuarine and coastal ecosystems, including coral reefs, seagrasses, salt marshes, mangroves, and sand beaches/dunes. It identifies key services such as coastal protection, fisheries production, carbon sequestration, and tourism/recreation. The document also outlines threats and stressors facing these ecosystems, such as overfishing, pollution, coastal development, and climate change. The overall purpose is to illustrate current understanding of the ecosystem services of estuarine and coastal areas and to integrate knowledge on valuing changes to human welfare from impacts on these services.
The document discusses protected areas in the Philippines as established under the National Integrated Protected Areas System Act of 1992. It notes that there are 112 protected areas covering over 3.5 million hectares, including 29 marine protected areas, 83 terrestrial protected areas, and various natural parks, protected landscapes, watershed reserves, and wildlife sanctuaries. The protected areas help conserve the country's unique biodiversity and natural resources in accordance with international agreements.
The document summarizes the work of the Mangrove Action Project (MAP) in restoring mangroves around the world through community-based ecological mangrove restoration (CBEMR) training and demonstration sites. MAP has provided CBEMR training in over 10 countries in Asia and Latin America. The summary highlights three case studies: 1) A 2009 CBEMR training and demonstration site in Thailand that engaged the local community and restored 0.7 hectares of mangroves. 2) A 1998 CBEMR training in Honduras that formed a mangrove conservation network. 3) A sustainable apiculture program in Thailand started in 2014 that provides an alternative livelihood for mangrove restoration.

Protected areas for the 21st century: Lessons from UNDP /GEF’s PortfolioUNDP Eurasia
Protected areas need to change to meet 21st century challenges of climate change, resource scarcity, and development goals. They must be planned and financed collaboratively, provide ecosystem services, and connect habitats. UNDP/GEF has established over 100 million hectares of protected lands, strengthening over 450 existing areas. Protected areas store carbon, provide water, alleviate poverty, and conserve biodiversity, so integrated planning is needed to balance these benefits. True protected area value must be understood to increase commitment and finance landscape-scale resilience.

Mangroves Management in Thailand: Presentation for jica workshop nov. 4 10, 2...Ratkawee Boonmake
Mangroves in Thailand have decreased significantly due to human activities but recent community-based conservation efforts have helped increase mangrove areas. The Pred Nai community case study shows how community participation in management can be effective. Through restoration activities and forming a conservation group since the 1980s, the community has protected their mangroves and improved livelihoods. Key lessons include the importance of social inclusion, participatory monitoring of resources like crab populations, and building networks between communities. Continued challenges involve further increasing marginalized groups' access and engaging new generations in long-term conservation.
The document summarizes information about the Ancient City of Tauric Chersonese and its Chora in Ukraine. It describes the site as featuring the remains of a city founded by Dorian Greeks in the 5th century BC on the northern shores of the Black Sea. The site encompasses six component sites with urban remains and agricultural lands divided into several hundred rectangular plots of equal size used for vineyards. The city thrived as a hub of exchange between Greek, Roman, and Byzantine empires until the 15th century. It provides an outstanding example of an ancient cultural landscape consisting of a Greek polis and its agricultural hinterland.
Marine protected area Marine protected areas (MPA) are protected areas of seas, oceans, estuaries or in the US, the Great Lakes .[2] These marine areas can come in many forms ranging from wildlife refuges to research facilities.[3] MPAs restrict human activity for a conservation purpose, typically to protect natural or cultural resources.[4] Such marine resources are protected by local, state, territorial, native, regional, national, or international authorities and differ substantially among and between nations. This variation includes different limitations on development, fishing practices, fishing seasons and catch limits, moorings and bans on removing or disrupting marine life. In some situations (such as with the Phoenix Islands Protected Area), MPAs also provide revenue for countries, potentially equal to the income that they would have if they were to grant companies permissions to fish.[5]
On 28 October 2016 in Hobart, Australia, the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources agreed to establish the first Antarctic and largest marine protected area in the world encompassing 1.55 million km2 (600,000 sq mi) in the Ross Sea.[6] Other large MPAs are in the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans, in certain exclusive economic zones of Australia and overseas territories of France, the United Kingdom and the United States, with major (990,000 square kilometres (380,000 sq mi) or larger) new or expanded MPAs by these nations since 2012—such as Natural Park of the Coral Sea, Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument, Coral Sea Commonwealth Marine Reserve and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area. When counted with MPAs of all sizes from many other countries, as of August 2016 there are more than 13,650 MPAs, encompassing 2.07% of the world's oceans, with half of that area – encompassing 1.03% of the world's oceans – receiving complete "no-take" designation.[7]

Effects of human activities to coastal ecosystemJenn Leyco
This document outlines a presentation on mangroves and their importance for coastal ecosystems. It discusses how mangroves have adapted to survive in coastal environments, the services they provide like coastal protection, biodiversity, and carbon storage. However, human activities like clearing land for development have negatively impacted mangrove forests. The presentation covers government environmental laws and conservation projects in the Philippines to help protect mangroves.
The degradation of Philippine marine life and coastal ecosystems like coral reefs and mangroves is outlined. The Philippines has extensive coastline and marine resources but coral reefs have over 70% damage from threats like blast fishing, while mangrove areas have declined sharply from 500,000 hectares to just 117,000 hectares due to activities like aquaculture and development. Specific areas of concern are discussed like the Tubbataha Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that suffered damage when a US naval ship ran aground in the reef in 2013.

Climate change is having impacts on mangroves in India through sea level rise, changes in salinity and precipitation, and increased cyclone activity. Mangroves are being permanently inundated by sea level rise of approximately 3 mm per year currently. Changes in salinity and precipitation patterns are affecting mangrove species distributions and health. Major cyclones have caused widespread mangrove damage, such as the 1999 super cyclone in Odisha. While mangroves are resilient to some climate impacts, additional pressures from human activities are exacerbating the effects of climate change on these important coastal ecosystems.
This document discusses problems associated with coastal ecosystems. It outlines several key issues, including eutrophication from excess nutrient pollution which can cause algal blooms and hypoxia; habitat modification from natural forces or human activities that damage ecosystems; hydrologic and hydrodynamic disruption from changes to water flows and circulation; overexploitation of coastal resources from overfishing; toxic pollution from chemicals that disrupt endocrine and reproductive systems; and issues related to climate change like rising sea levels. Many of these problems are linked to activities that occur inland and impact coastal waters.
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are areas of the marine environment that are protected by law from certain human impacts to conserve natural and cultural resources. While often thought of as completely closed off to humans, many allow some human uses. MPAs help protect ecosystems and habitats from overfishing and other threats, maintaining biodiversity and ensuring resources are available for future generations. Studies show MPAs can help replenish fish populations in surrounding areas. The Marine Protected Areas Fund supports coordination and stewardship among members of the National System of Marine Protected Areas. There are over 1,500 MPAs established across the U.S., with the majority allowing some access and uses while providing permanent protection.
The document analyzes the loss of tidal wetlands in New York from 1880 to 2000 based on a study by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, finding a 48% loss from the 1880s to 2000 and an additional 19% loss from 1970 to present despite protective legislation passed in the 1970s, indicating wetland decline continues to be a problem. It discusses how wetlands provide important ecosystem services like habitat for marine organisms and nutrient cycling. The main cause of ongoing wetland loss is increased amounts of open water on marsh surfaces due to excess nitrogen leading to the wetland's demise, though laws in the 1970s aimed to protect from draining and filling wet
A mangrove is a shrub or small tree that grows in coastal saline or brackish water. The term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. Mangroves occur worldwide in the tropics and subtropics, mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S. The total mangrove forest area of the world in 2000 was 137,800 square kilometres (53,200 sq mi), spanning 118 countries and territories.

World Oceans Day 8th June, 2019 provides an opportunity to honour, protect, and conserve the oceans. United Nations Sustainable Development Goal # 14 commits countries to unite over what is a truly global responsibility – the protection of our oceans and the lives that depend on it.
Mangroves are vital for healthy coastal ecosystems in many regions of the world and research and studies are revealing the unique importance of these habitats to the planet. The Mangrove Action Project is dedicated to reversing the degradation and loss of mangrove forest wetlands and their associated coastal ecosystems worldwide. www.mangroveactionproject.org
Marine biodiversity is declining globally at an unprecedented rate due to threats such as habitat loss, overexploitation of fish and other marine species, and invasive species. Currently only about 2.4% of the ocean is protected despite goals to increase protected areas to 10% by 2020. International agreements like the Convention on Biological Diversity have established targets and indicators to monitor biodiversity loss and guide conservation efforts, but global and EU targets to reduce biodiversity loss by 2010 were not met. Ongoing work includes identifying ecologically and biologically significant areas for enhanced protection and monitoring trends in species distributions and abundances to inform policymaking.

Environment encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof. It encompasses the interaction of all living species. Physical, biological, social, economical and cultural atmosphere affect human survival and economic activity. Concisely, the factors that affect living things are called environment. Environment contributes to our future, and if we don’t control the environment now, we can regret this some time.
Natural resources are materials from nature that are valuable to humans. Examples include water, air, wood, and minerals. Protected areas are regions set aside primarily for conservation of nature and biodiversity. They help manage ecosystems and provide goods and services. Conservation aims to ensure survival of species diversity and genetic variability by maintaining ecosystem functions like nutrient cycling. It also includes sustainable resource use. Protected areas and conservation play important roles in environmental protection and human well-being.
The document discusses various topics related to environmental protection and sustainable development, including World Water Day, Expo Zaragoza 2008 on water and sustainable development, climate change and water scarcity, renewable energy sources, protected natural areas in Spain, national parks and biodiversity in Hungary and Germany, and international cooperation on environmental issues.
The document discusses the Vistonis Lagoon in Greece, which is an important protected wetland area facing various environmental pressures. It examines the lagoon's ability to absorb biological loads and the need for improved wastewater treatment. The lagoon's natural characteristics and issues like eutrophication, dehydration, and lack of sewage treatment are described. Proposals are made for better management, wastewater treatment, sustainable agriculture, and education to restore the sensitive ecosystem. EU funds are available to support protecting and restoring the area.
This document provides information about marine protected areas (MPAs), including definitions, classifications, and examples from around the world. Some key points:
- MPAs are designated areas of ocean that restrict human activity to protect biodiversity and natural/cultural resources. They range from no-take zones to multiple use areas.
- Criteria for selecting MPAs include biodiversity, habitats, genetic diversity, and economic/cultural value.
- Examples of large, well-known MPAs discussed are the Ross Sea Region MPA (Antarctica), Great Barrier Reef (Australia), and Galápagos Marine Reserve (Ecuador).
- India has over 30 marine sanctuaries and national
The document discusses World Wetland Day, which is celebrated annually on February 2nd. It provides background on the Ramsar Convention, which established protections for wetlands of international importance. Wetlands provide numerous benefits, including water purification, flood control, biodiversity, and carbon storage. However, many wetlands have been lost due to activities like agriculture, fishing, and pollution. The document advocates educating communities and taking steps to preserve remaining wetlands, such as by planting native species and avoiding development in wetland areas. It highlights some important wetlands in India and efforts to raise awareness and sustainably manage wetlands going forward.

The document summarizes 30 years of trilateral cooperation between Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands on protecting the Wadden Sea ecosystem. It describes the Wadden Sea's designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009 due to its outstanding universal value. Key aspects of cooperation include establishing national parks and nature reserves, long-term monitoring programs, management plans addressing issues like shipping and tourism, and efforts to promote sustainable development and public awareness of the region's ecological importance.
Coastal zones are dynamic and resource-rich areas that are home to a large portion of the world's population. In India, coastal zones provide many natural resources and ecosystem services but also face numerous threats from pollution, development, and climate change impacts. To manage these areas sustainably, the national government has established the Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) framework, categorizing coastal areas based on sensitivity and regulating activities. This framework is periodically updated to improve protections for coastal and island ecosystems in India.
The document provides information about small island developing states (SIDS) and island biodiversity. It discusses the UN mandate for the Office of the High Representative for SIDS. It then covers biodiversity topics like freshwater and marine species, land mammals, birds, and threats to island biodiversity across the Caribbean, Pacific, and AIMS regions. Examples of endemic and threatened species are provided for each region. The document aims to highlight the value of island biodiversity as well as attempts to combat biodiversity loss in SIDS.

L’itinerario del Sentiero Calabria è costituito dal tratto calabrese del Sentiero Italia e dai percorsi, o piste interne, denominati sentieri di avvicinamento, utilizzati per la fruizione naturalistica e ambientale delle aree protette.
Il percorso che attraversa i Parchi Nazionali dell’Aspromonte, della Sila e del Pollino ed il Parco Regionale delle Serre, rappresenta il percorso escursionistico principale per la fruizione del patrimonio naturale, paesaggistico e storico-culturale delle aree interne della Calabria.
Il “Sentiero Calabria” nasce dall’idea di collegare l’intero territorio regionale con un unico percorso costituito da 35 tappe, cercando di creare un’offerta strutturata con i servizi integrati nel territorio.
Il sentiero, i cui tratti sono in larga parte coincidenti con quelli del “Sentiero Italia”, è un percorso escursionistico che, percorrendo longitudinalmente la regione, collega le aree naturalistiche, i borghi e le aree protette che da Reggio Calabria, attraversando tutto il Parco Nazionale dell’Aspromonte, il Parco Regionale delle Serre ed il Parco Nazionale della Sila, giunge fino al Parco Nazionale del Pollino.

Con tale finalità nasce Artplace Museum, la prima applicazione iBeacon-ready sviluppata appositamente per “dare voce” a questo patrimonio e ideata come un network per la condivisione di un numero sempre crescente di musei e punti di interesse digitalizzati.
20 team d’innovatori in startup hanno presentato la propria idea imprenditoriale davanti alla giuria di FactorYmpresa Turismo: è la fase finale di un Accelerathon che ha coinvolto le migliori idee selezionate da INVITALIA | L’Agenzia per lo Sviluppo attraverso una call pubblica, ognuno di loro ha avuto a disposizione 3 minuti per il proprio pitch, ai primi 10 premi in denaro per una dotazione finanziaria complessiva di € 100.000 e servizi d’accompagnamento al mercato.
FactorYmpresa Turismo è un programma d’incentivi partito nel 2017 con la Direzione Turismo del Ministero dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo MiBACT.
La sfida ACCESSIBILE!
La SFIDA: offrire servizi innovativi per l’accessibilità fisica, generazionale e culturale dei luoghi e dei territori, aprendoli alla valorizzazione turistica per tutti. Individuare le barriere e proporre soluzioni per superarle, al fine di ampliare il più possibile la fruibilità del nostro Paese ai viaggiatori che richiedono servizi specifici in ragione dei propri bisogni.
FactorYmpresa Turismo è andata a focalizzare con la sfida ACCESSIBILE! l’attenzione sull’accessibilità alla fruizione turistica per tutti i viaggiatori: si è trattato di pensare a soluzioni in grado di abbattere ogni ostacolo legato a condizioni di età, di salute, fisiche, di ceto sociale e di livello culturale, dando la possibilità ai visitatori di fruire liberamente il territorio ed i servizi turistici, comprendere e interpretare la storia, la complessità e la varietà del patrimonio materiale e immateriale del Paese.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.

Over the years, Italy has been pursuing
a rewarding path to protect and enhance its
natural capital through a coordinated system
of management and protection of natural areas
and their contiguous territories. This natural
capital includes many diverse ecosystems
and is rich in biodiversity.
The implementation of the MAB Programme,
in recent years, has become a significant
framework for activities, ethical and cultural
values linked to environmental conservation
and education, and to the sustainable use of
resources and for good practices traditionally
employed in Italy.
The Italian National Technical Committee, set
up to meet the aims of the Seville Strategy and
the Statutory Framework of the World Network
of Biosphere Reserves, has been coordinating all
of the activities in the Programme since 2011.
This has allowed for a sizable boost to the
Italian Network of Biosphere Reserves, both in
numbers and management capacity, as well as
in the renewed interest of local communities
towards issues and objectives linked to
sustainable development. It has been both a
highly motivating force and of great support
to the Italian Biosphere Reserves and their
territories, and has consequently shaped and
enhanced their active participation in national
and international events, especially at the
EuroMAB network. In this way, these activities
have allowed for relations and exchanges that
are particularly important considering the role
that the MAB Programme can play - in synergy
with other International Conventions – when
it comes to meeting the UN’s Sustainable
Development Goals.
This presentation aims to be an accessible
user-friendly tool that can serve to outline the
key information, details and unique features of
the Italian Network of Biosphere Reserves. A way
to bring a wider audience to these areas which are
an example of balance between man and nature.

4. Living biodiversity
Italy a land
of different habitats
Finding harmony in Nature from
the icy peaks of its Alps, from
eagles to mountain goats, as man
and beast make their way across
alpine paths seeking shelter; all
flourishing as streams run down
to crystalline lakes, meandering
through intricate rivers towards
the rugged coasts and sandy
shores until, they finally reach
the sea; the rolling Apennine hills
dotted with villages rich in the
traditions of the past, and goods
that come from living of the land
and islands dotted like twinkling
stars in the sea.
Italy is a land of tiny dimensions,
rich in variety whose tiny
proportions offer great bio-
diversity making protection of
these fragile eco-systems key
since they are as vulnerable as
they are precious.
5. Man, nature,
sustainable sustenance
Helping people and
nature to thrive together
Italy is filled with protected
natural habitats, urban areas
surrounded by richly rural areas,
all co-existing, flourishing,
interacting from one community
to the next, to ensure that each
different eco-system protects
its own highly bio-diverse reality.
With Biosphere Reserves unlike
any others found in Europe,
keeping such communities alive
has never been simple, and each
has had to find and implement
both agricultural and cultural
strategies in order to guarantee
a thriving living and sustainable
future for both man and Nature.
6. Wasting no time
in saving precious
resources
In Italy food waste is a new
phenomenon, the result of modern
well-being, of losing touch with
rural traditions where nothing
went to waste and everything was
put to use. In days of old food
was scavenged for, too precious
to waste, used and re-used so
nothing was left over.
Bread, at the heart of
Mediterranean diet was not freshly
baked each day but had to last, so
that as the stale bread hardened
the only solution was to use it up,
so that some of Italy’s greatest
traditional recipes celebrate the
use of bread long past its best.

Biosphere Reserve stands at heights ranging from 800
to 1730 MASL and was first designated a Biosphere
Reserve in 1977, initially covering only the two state-
owned forests of the Alto Molise, the Montedimezzo
and the Collemeluccio forests with 638 ha. Since 2014
the boundaries of the Biosphere Reserve have been
extended to include the nearby Municipalities of
Carovilli, Chiauci, Pescolanciano, Pietrabbondante,
Roccasicura, San Pietro Avellana and Vastogirardi
making a total of 25268 ha for the whole territory.
BIODIVERSITY
Extensive broad-leaved forests distinguish the areal
and are key to this Biosphere Reserve. The landscape
is interspersed with pastures and meadows including
a strong nucleus of Silver fir trees (Abies alba Miller).
The Biosphere Reserve includes 12 habitats, of
which 3 recognised as priorities, the reserve hosts
populations of 48 mammal species, 112 bird species,
10 amphibian species, 8 reptile species, 5 fish species
and 9 invertebrate species named in the EU Habitat
Directive. The floral heritage of the area includes over
900 species and subspecies belonging to 90 families.
MISSION
This Biosphere Reserve aims to pursue sustainable
development with projects that target both the
conservation and optimisation of its diverse
environmental and cultural heritage also sustaining
the small communities belonging of its Borghi
Autentici project. The Biosphere Reserve is committed
to projects which support soft mobility such as that of
bringing back to life former sheep trails (tratturi) and
trainlines which cross its pastures. One the main aims
in terms of conservation is caring for the key tertiary
relict tree species: the Silver fir (Abies alba Miller).

The area of the Circeo Biosphere Reserve, recognized
by UNESCO in 1977, initially covered an area of
state-owned forest only later expanded in 2014
by incorporating other areas beyond the borders
of the National Park. Adding this extra terrain was
necessary in order to guarantee the aims of the
MAB Programme. This change in the Biosphere’s
boundaries increased the importance of its chosen
aims: enhancing the relationship between man
and nature by means of skills-building research
programmes teamed with the sustainable
management of the area.
BIODIVERSITY
The Circeo Biosphere Reserves now includes four
coastal lakes, a lowland forest stretching out for
almost 3000 ha, the calcareous massif of Mount
Circeo (541 MASL) and a range of sandy coastline and
dunes that extends for 25 km. Within its confines the
Biosphere Reserve offers significant biodiversity: for
example, 40 species of mammals including 19 species
of Chiroptera, 280 species of birds, 16 species of
reptiles and 7 species of amphibians as well as a rich
but unspecified number of Invertebrates, and around
1200 species of vascular flora.
MISSION
The Circeo has greatly strengthened the relationship
between Man and nature, however its huge
popularity with tourists puts pressure on the
ecosystem, especially its coastal dunes. Another
challenge is that of the eutrophication of the water as
well as the pollution of coastal lakes caused by urban
sewage and agricultural activities. As a result, the
National Park aims to provide educational activities
on the environment and an eco-museum offering key
information to visitors.

10. The Cilento e Vallo di Diano Biosphere Reserve in
southern Italy, close to the Tyrrhenian Sea, bears
witness to centuries of Man, Nature and Culture’s
thriving co-existence, which has been transformed
by the Biosphere which represents a complex
biogeographic home blending ancient Greek
cities, abbeys, castles and farmhouses across a
rich varied landscape. The terrain varies from its
gentle hills to its rugged mountain top landscapes
and from roughly hewn gorges and valleys to
Palaeolithic karst caves and petrified springs.
BIODIVERSITY
The high natural value of the variety of its ecosystems
reflects the biodiversity of the area, with 28 SCI and
8 SPA which are unique to this area. The flora counts
for 1800 diverse autochthonous species such as the
Primula palinuri, an extremely localized paleoendemic
species. Equally, part of the local fauna includes
creatures like bald eagle, the Coturnix, the Apennine
hare, the wolf and a vast population of otters.
MISSION
The Cilento e Vallo di Diano Biosphere Reserve
is currently promoting a plastic-free awareness
raising campaign and is also working to foster and
improve the traditional rural working practices
offering its endorsement via the use of a Park and
Biosphere Reserve quality label. The aim here is to
encourage best practices and behaviour in order
to positively improve the quality of life for local
inhabitants, also enhancing job opportunities and
contributing to the development of the area via
sustainable environmental strategies.

The Miramare e Costa di Trieste Biosphere Reserve
covers the coastal area facing the Gulf of Trieste. It
is famous for its karst promontory, which overlooks
the bay running steeply down towards the sea.
There are settlements, farmed terraces and large
areas of natural woods and meadows at the edges
of the Biosphere. The Biosphere’s core zone is the
Miramare Castle park which faces the sea and also
includes the Biosphere’s buffer zone.
BIODIVERSITY
The Biosphere has great biodiversity with many diverse
species and habitats - from its sea beds to its karst
plateau, it is unique, with both Mediterranean features
on its most northerly borders, Illyrian and continental
elements in the karst areas, and Atlantic elements in
the sea. In its coastline, woods, karst scrublands and
dry meadows are countless endemic species, while its
highly varied marine environments are home to a rich
biodiversity including numerous species of animals and
plants of key community importance.
MISSION
The main aim of the Reserve is to promote
sustainable development, whilst carrying out
innovative best practices and creating experiences
which can be transferred outside the Biosphere
Reserve. In particular, slow tourism, research,
monitoring and environmental conservation are
all important. Naturally, it is also key to encourage
education and awareness-raising regarding
biodiversity conservation both at sea and on
land as well as fostering a balanced relationship
between Man and Nature.

with its surrounding coastal area, as well as the city
of Pompei and the XVIth
and XVIIth
Century Vesuvian
villas which are part of the golden mile known to
Italians as the Miglio d’Oro. The Biosphere Reserve
gained heritage status in 1997 for its cultural
landscape, which is further enhanced by both its
outstanding natural features and its famous religious,
artistic and historical cities, relics, and monuments.
BIODIVERSITY
The Somma - Vesuvio has two diverse
morphological features: the caldera of Mount
Somma and the Gran Cono (large cone) of Vesuvius.
These locations are also highly diverse from a
natural point of view: the Somma’s more humid
hillside hosts mixed forests, while the drier
Vesuvian hillside has been partially re-forested
and is partly composed of xeric maquis scrublands.
Despite its man-made background, the Biosphere
Reserve fosters diverse wildlife communities
including both bats and various species of birds.
MISSION
The mission of the Biosphere Reserve is a radical
inversion of the dynamics of the area, where the
cultural and natural values of the volcano complex
and of the Miglio d’Oro will become the focus of long-
term development of the area. In this way activities
aiming to conserve its natural resources will allow for
the refurbishment of its existing green areas. Likewise,
long-term development policies favouring lawful best
practices will foster an improvement of the social and
cultural context of the area surrounding Vesuvius.

The Ticino Val Grande Verbano Biosphere Reserve,
was designated in 2018 when the original Valle del
Ticino (2002) reserve was enlarged, it now includes
the Ticino Parks of Lombardy and Piedmont, as
well as Lake Maggiore, the National Park of the Val
Grande, and the Regional Park Campo dei Fiori.
The Biosphere Reserve has great urban and rural
biodiversity with areas of key significance thanks
to their unique history and culture including its
stunning water meadows. In addition, these areas
have great tourist appeal.
BIODIVERSITY
The area houses 19 parks and reserves and 48 Natura
2000 sites also hosts a vast mix of environments.
There are both peri-fluvial zones in the lowlands
and the mountain and alpine environments which
foster significant water-courses and river basins.
The Biosphere offers great diversity in its nature
and landscapes with a wide number of habitats
and species of significant importance to the
Community all demonstrating the fundamental and
the irreplaceable role of the Biosphere Reserve in
fostering the ecological connections between the
Alps and the Apennines.
MISSION
The Biosphere Reserve’s main aim is to forge strong
connections between the Parks, integrating actions,
generating ecological links to conserve biodiversity,
ecosystems, landscapes, and implementing
sustainable development in ways which can also be
exported beyond its confines. Other aims include
supporting cultural, educational and research projects
especially those offering large-scale interconnection
between the Alpine, Continental and Mediterranean
bio-regions. Ideally one day the reserve will become
an Italo-Swiss transboundary Biosphere Reserve.

Isole di Toscana
Biosphere Reserve
Selve costiere
di Toscana
The Isole di Toscana Biosphere Reserve is made
of the territory of the National Park of the
Tuscan Archipelago, the seven main islands
and sea surrounding them: Gorgona, Capraia,
Elba, Pianosa, Montecristo, Giglio and Giannutri.
Each island preserves its own local production,
historical monuments and precious biodiverse
treasures. These natural environments contain
countless examples of biological, geological
and geomorphological diversity, with unique
environmental features of the Mediterranean
offering exceptional geodiversity.
BIODIVERSITY
The natural environments of the Biosphere
Reserve are highly diverse: the vegetation is mainly
Mediterranean and the flora includes a wealth
of endemic species, with principle habitat types
including evergreen forests and Sclerophyllous
vegetation, pines and Maquis shrublands, chestnut
forests and broad-leaved trees. Key fauna, especially
in terms of conservation, include the Audouin gull
(Larus audouinii), the Scopoli shearwater (Calonectris
diomedea) and the Yelkouan shearwater (Puffinus
yelkouan). The marine environment has an intact
biocoenosis, posidonia prairies and numerous
species listed in the Bern Convention Appendix III.
MISSION
The Reserve preserves and enhances the historical,
artistic and cultural heritage of the islands, and
promotes the spread of environmental awareness
and care for the natural world, especially when
teaching young people. Together with local inhabitants
the Biosphere Reserve supports tourism and the
sustainable economic development of the Archipelago,
while raising the profile and promoting typical products
and local gastronomic traditions of the islands.
www.islepark.it
parco@islepark.it
The Selve Costiere di Toscana Biosphere Reserve
has an unusual landscape running along the coast
and flanking agricultural, woodland and lowland
wetlands moving uphill to mountain environments.
These natural environments have been permanently
altered over the centuries with reclaimed lowlands,
hedges and channels, olive groves combined with
dry stonewall terraces. The Biosphere area is also
home to many historical monuments: aqueducts,
Roman parishes and churches. It also houses the
Pisa Charterhouse in Calci which contains the
university’s Natural History Museum.
BIODIVERSITY
The area holds Tertiary and Ice age relict species
including the Osmunda regalis, Drosera rotundifolia,
Sphagnum spp. The area’s uncontaminated dunes and
extensive open wetlands, along with forests (meso
hydrophyte forests, but also man-made chestnut
and pine forests) are vital for the extremely rare birds
which come here both to nest and in migration.
As a result, these lands offer vital ecosystem services
for agriculture, forestry and tourism. There is also a
great deal of scientific research in the area since the
Biosphere is home to three universities.
MISSION
The aims of the Selve Costiere di Toscana Biosphere
Reserve include the revitalization of natural forestry
and local supply chains as well as that of reinforcing
the ecological corridors between its three core areas
(Mount Pisano, Livorno hills and the Park of Migliarino
San Rossore Massaciuccoli). The Biosphere will also
pursue the development of itineraries on foot, on
horseback, and by bicycle, liaising with local tourist
institutions in order attract visitors and further
develop sustainable quality tourism.

Area MAB Sila
The Sila Biosphere Reserve in Calabria includes the
Sila National Park within its boundaries. Over 386
thousand inhabitants live in the 66 Municipalities of
the Biosphere Reserve. This national treasure hosts
many stunning ecosystems where the geological
and geomorphological features of the area add
to create a series of outstanding landscapes.
The area offers a broad range of diverse natural
environments, each with different microclimates, so
as to offer great biodiversity which is significant for
the whole biogeographic Mediterranean region.
BIODIVERSITY
One of the strongest features of the Sila Biosphere
Reserve is its relative abundance of water thanks to
the extraordinary presence of its ancient forests, all
of which offer great biodiversity in terms of their flora
for example with pines like the Pinus nigra laricio.
These forests are the source of the area’s forest-based
supply chain, which is rich in tradition, so that these
same forests are also interspersed with land which has
been used for livestock and animal husbandry over
the course of thousands of years. Animal biodiversity
accounts for 175 autochthonous vertebrates including
various species of mammals, birds, amphibians,
reptiles and fish.
MISSION
The Sila Biosphere Reserve aims to encourage the
active involvement of all those living and working
within its territory, implementing its policy to foster
the extraordinary opportunities afforded by the socio-
economic development of its designated MAB status.
The Biosphere plans to favour concrete development
in the area, offering new guidelines in order to closely
follow local needs, as well as applying any changes
required by the dynamics of its local job market. What
is more, it aims to create new and varied projects to
encourage the flow of more visitors.

transboundary Ita-Fra
In 2014, at the heart of the Cottian Alps between
the Haute-Alps, and the Alps of Haute Provence
and Piedmont, the Park of Monviso and the Park
of Queyras endorsed a Transboundary Biosphere
Reserve between Italy and France. The territory
covers 400.000 ha, with 300.000 inhabitants living
between 88 Italian and 21 French Municipalities.
It includes 4 UNESCO WHS sites: the Castles of
Racconigi and Pollenzo, the city of Briançon and
the Fort of Mount-Dauphin. In 2018, The Biosphere
organized the UNESCO MAB Monviso Youth Camp for
teenagers from both France and Italy.
BIODIVERSITY
The environments in the Biosphere Reserve range
from the high mountain settings to the valleys
around the Monviso area and down to the plains.
The area hosts a multitude of different natural
areas, from forests to grasslands to permanent
meadows, rocky formations and aquatic
environments. Nearly one thousand plant species
and more than a hundred animal species populate
the area between the Monviso and the Po River,
with some endemic species such as the Lanza
alpine salamander (Salamandra lanzai).
MISSION
The Monviso Biosphere Reserve favours the
conservation of biodiversity and ecosystems,
promoting cross-border governance, which allows
for greater involvement of economic and social
actors in the management and promotion of the
Biosphere Reserve. The Monviso Biosphere Reserve
raises awareness with local inhabitants showcasing
the aims of the MAB programme and UN SDG’s with
a view to encouraging local involvement in projects
aiming to meet these objectives.

14. Biosphere Reserve
Alpi Ledrensi
e Judicaria
A variety of interesting elements co-exist in the
terrain of this small-scale Biosphere Reserve, with
features typical of both the Mediterranean and the
Alps; the varied landscape ranges from the Ledro
and Garda Lakes to the UNESCO WHS Dolomites
and the Adamello Brenta Geopark. There are also
plenty of castles, holy buildings and the prehistoric
WHS stilt-house settlements which distinguish this
territory. The local tradition-based communities
are happy to explore innovative, sustainable
solutions to enhance the social, economic and
cultural development of this area.
BIODIVERSITY
There are 32 Natura 2000 habitats, several of
high forest value, all characterizing the important
natural wealth of the area. Flora censuses have
revealed roughly 1600 plant species, of which 33
are endemic in one of the greatest concentrations
in the Alps. This multiplicity of habitats –enforced
by the significant presence of forests and low
urbanization– favours key species such as the bear,
the wolf and the lynx. In Autumn this territory offers
a key passage through the Alps for migrating birds
since it stands between alpine and pre-alpine zones.
MISSION
For centuries communities inhabiting this territory
have practiced a balanced, collective and responsible
management of natural resources; today locals are
willing to undertake economic activities that are
sustainable both from the social point of view and
in terms of the environment. The Biosphere Reserve
focuses on fostering the development of sustainable
tourism together with co-ordinated actions liaising
between the many UNESCO sites encompassed in the
territory of this Biosphere Reserve (2 World Heritage
Sites and a Global Geopark) and enhancing network
actions among Biosphere Reserves.

Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, Massa and Lucca, in
an area that includes 34 municipalities. It crosses
the climatic border between continental Europe and
the Mediterranean and has a remarkable geological
heritage thanks to its geographical location which
has shaped its unusual ecology and culture.
BIODIVERSITY
The various different climatic zones result in great
biodiversity creating ideal environments for high
quality farming. The Reserve’s diverse areas include
a National Park, two Regional Parks and Regional
and National Reserves with 22 Natura 2000 sites.
Examples of Italian biodiversity are plentiful,
including over 2000 rare and endemic species of
which 122 are protected and living within its borders.
The terrain varies greatly with woods, fields,
settlements, pastures, lakes, wetlands, torrents and
rocky climbs and outcrops all of which fit into in a
relatively small area, with altitudes reaching from
2120 MASL (Mount Cusna) to 60 MASL (Lunigiana).
MISSION
The Reserve aims to reinforce a sense of belonging
for local people. So the young will be empowered
with skills to encourage sustainable development,
and also discouraged from moving away.
Awareness-raising will teach local communities
the importance of natural and cultural traditions
showing the potential of this Reserve. Finally,
promoting sustainable, quality agriculture, along
with education on the environment and experiential
tourism, sustainable economic growth will help
people protect the ecosystems of the reserve.

Collina Po
The Collina Po Biosphere Reserve which was set
up in March 2016 is Italy’s first urban Biosphere.
Within its confines it also contains the city of
Turin with over 1.5 million inhabitants. This area,
once famed for its strong industrial links, has in
recent years begun to lean more heavily towards
cultural tourism and research. The River Po and
the Collina Torinese hillside area are two the of
the key natural features of this Biosphere Reserve
containing 14 core areas together with their
respective landscapes.
BIODIVERSITY
The area holds 14 habitats of key importance to
the Community 3 of which are priority and strongly
linked to its river and hill environments. In the
Biosphere Reserve there are 265 species named in
the EU Habitat Directive including various types
of invertebrates, amphibians, fish, reptiles, birds
and mammals. Among these there are subspecies
endemic to the Padan Plain which are of key
importance, such as the following species of toads,
newts and eels, Pelobates fuscus ssp Insubricus,
Triturus carnifex, Anguilla Anguilla, respectively,
as well as the recent return to the hills of the grey
wolves, Canis lupus.
MISSION
The idea envisioned by the MAB Programme is to
tighten the relationship between the city and its
surrounding rural/natural areas, as a result the
aim of this Biosphere is to create of a sustainability
laboratory able to fulfill the Biosphere Reserve’s three
main functions. The Plan of action for the Biosphere
aims to cover the following 5 areas: sustainable
development, territorial cooperation, economic
sustainability, communication and governance.

The Delta del Po Biosphere Reserve was chosen
as the setting the first ever MAB Youth Forum in
2017. The Delta is the result of the river’s action,
which during centuries has sedimented at its
mouth, leading to the progressive advancement of
the coastline while alongside the work of the local
community –which modified the water course–
created a complex lagoon system. Such processes
have led to strong genetic species and a richly
diverse ecosystem. The Po Delta is a paradise
for birds, fish and molluscs, as well as for for the
human activities which make the Po Delta famous
for its strong traditions.
BIODIVERSITY
In terms of its biodiversity the rich variety of the
Po Delta hosts over 370 bird species, of which 90
are listed in Annex I. Dir. Birds, 3 species of reptiles,
2 species of amphibians, 10 species of fish, 1
species of mammal and 1 species of plant as seen
in in Annex II of the EU Habitats Directive.
In terms of genetic diversity, it is home to three
endemic species including the Mesola Deer, which
are recognised as a genetically distinct species
from other red deer populations present in Europe.
MISSION
The Delta del Po Biosphere Reserve aims for
sustainable development which is closely linked to
nature, this includes the evaluation of ecosystem
services and the production of renewable energy.
The Delta del Po Biosphere Reserve, also hopes to
promote environmental certification for products,
territory and slow tourism as a way of life, as well
as encouraging tourism. Another targeted aim is
that of promoting specific activities, recognized
to be of great importance to biodiversity, such as
lagoon fish farming and rice cultivation.

Monte Peglia
The Monte Peglia Biosphere Reserve (837 m) is
located in Umbria, between two hydrographic
corridors: the Chiani-Paglia and the Tiber. Core
areas in this biosphere host both rare species
and great meso-mediterranean biocenoses.
The fauna and flora, paleontological, geological,
prehistoric, archaeological and historical sites
are all particularly interesting. In its buffer and
transition zones, the local agricultural activities take
advantage of broad range of natural resources. The
Biosphere Reserve population is relatively low as a
result of an aging population which has abandoned
some of its rural areas.
BIODIVERSITY
The complexity of ecosystems and landscapes reflect
the relatively high altitude and steep gradient of
the land. A wealth of azonal elements and a dense
hydrographic network characterize the area. The
forest shows significant biocenoses and there are
also many key predators including the wolf, the
wild cat, the eagle-owl, and the short-toed eagle as
well as the brown trout in rivers which support and
regulate its well-structured trophic networks.
MISSION
Encouraging the return of more people to Monte
Peglia area and enhancing socio-ecological
biodiversity by developing small rural family
enterprises are key missions for the Monte Peglia
Biosphere. SMEs active in the area are motivated
to the environmental protection and recognize
ecosystem services. These SMEs combine well with
eco-agritourism and can be involved in a monitoring
network for socio-ecological resilience to global
changes which can act as a bridge between national
and international Biosphere Reserves.

Biosphere Reserve
Tepilora, Rio Posada
e Montalbo
Located in the North East Sardinia, Tepilora Rio
Posada e Montalbo Biosphere Reserve covers a
total surface area of over 140,000 ha, with mountain
areas of different geological origins (from the
Montalbo to Tepilora Mount, to the Alà mountains
and to Nieddu Mount), a flat strip, rivers, delta and
coastal areas. The Biosphere Reserve also contains
17 municipalities and has a resident population of
50 000 inhabitants, which multiplies fivefold during
the summer season mainly in the coastal areas.
BIODIVERSITY
With its high level of endemic species, Sardinia
is one of the main biodiversity hotspots of the
Mediterranean. There are 183 endemic plants,
exclusive to the island and 91 endemic plants in the
Sardinian-Corsican-Tuscan Archipelago biogeographic
province. What is more, 121 taxonomic species of
the Sardinian flora are endangered, according to
IUCN criteria or are included in lists needing special
attention. The Biosphere Reserve is home to mouflons
(Ovis musimom), wildcats (Felis silvestris lybica sarda),
Sardinian partridges (Alectoris barbara), Sardinian
hares (Lepus capensis maditerraneus), pine martens
(Martes martes latinorum), western or purple swamp
hen (Porphyrio porphyrio) and wild boars (Sus scrofa).
MISSION
The Reserve's mission is to protect and enhance the
culture of Sardinia –and more specifically the culture
of the Barbagia and Baronie areas embraced by the
Biosphere Reserve– a culture which stems from the
profound ties between man and nature. In some ways,
the territory of the Biosphere Reserve embodies the
recent radical changes in the relationship between the
coast and the interior of the island. There is a quest
for balance between the hinterland and the coast both
due to human presence and to all those spheres that
have shaped the Sardinian culture and landscape.

The Valle Camonica - Alto Sebino Biosphere Reserve
extends across 1360 km2 with 45 Municipalities of
Valcamonica and the upper region of the Iseo Lake.
Within its confines the Biosphere also contains
Italy’s first UNESCO World Heritage site with the
Rock Drawings of Valcamonica which gained heritage
status in 1979. The exceptional mixture of diverse
landscapes ranges from the Adamello glacier to the
Mediterranean settings of the Sebino.
BIODIVERSITY
The Biosphere Reserve offers extraordinary
biodiversity from its flora, which accounts for over
2200 species, to its fauna, which populates the
area with numerous rare and endemic species
including the wolf, the bear, the golden eagle and
the Western Capercaillie wood grouse. A network
of 34 protected areas, which overall comprise the
60% of the Biosphere Reserve, enjoys the riches
of this outstanding biodiversity. These are 19
Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and 6 Special
Protection Areas (SPA), which have been awarded
this title by the European Union as part of the
Natura 2000 Network.
MISSION
The main aims of the Biosphere Reserve include
strengthening the concept of the reserve beyond the
confines of its local communities, also stimulating
and enhancing internal management skills and
aiming to launch concrete sustainable development
of the area. Being named as a Biosphere Reserve has
lead to the recognition, protection and enhancement
of diverse features of the biological diversity and
of the local identities as a guarantee for long-term
sustainable development able to favour communica-
tion between different places, and cultures and the
protection of varied species.

The Alpi Giulie Italiane are in the Northeast
mountain area of the Friuli Venezia Giulia, on the
border with Slovenia. This area has been now
nominated to become a Biosphere Reserve.
Its terrain starts from the lowlands of the
Tagliamento River and rises up to the 2.700 MASL
of the Montasio Jôf, crossing both pre-alpine and
alpine areas. The communities of this area inhabit
three cultural areas with Latin, Slavic and German
culture, so that a key feature of this area are its
linguistic minority groups who are still working
to preserve their language and traditions.
BIODIVERSITY
Given its biogeographical position and elevated
height the high levels of snow and rainfall result
in a unique richness of species for both fauna and
flora. Flora censuses in the area have revealed
over 14000 species, including over 60 are rare or
endemic species; wildlife species here are no less
important and there are bears and lynxes as well
as over 120 nesting bird species, including both the
golden eagle and the griffon vulture.
MISSION
The principal purpose of the area now nominated
to join the MAB Programme is to enhance the ma-
nagement model of the area, which today is based
on deeply rooted local communities and their low
impact environmental activities.
Over the centuries such practices have aided the
conservation of the great natural resources and
landscape of the area. Engaging young people in its
“Youth council for the Biosphere Reserve” will play
a central role in meeting this aim.
