Presentation
The inestimable value and landscape importance of the area within its boundaries make the Adamello Brenta Nature Park the best known protected area in the entire Alps. Here, man and nature live together. The Park’s aims, administrative organisation and general management guidelines are defined by Provincial Law no. 18/88. The Park Authority works through a Management Committee on which the municipalities present in the Park and principal local stakeholders represent the majority. This guarantees local communities a leading role in management decisions. The Adamello Brenta Nature Park safeguards the area's natural and environmental characteristics and promotes scientific study and use of the natural resources by the community. In particular, it safeguards, develops and enhances the natural, cultural and human resources of the area through two management tools:
The strategic aims of the Park's environmental policy are:
- safeguarding of the environment and biodiversity
- scientific research
- environmental education
- enhancement of the area
- innovation and sustainable development
