National Conference “Protected Areas and Conservation”

The WWF La Malcontenta Oasis and the Wolf also participated in the second edition of the National Conference “Protected Areas and Conservation”, an event organised by WWF Italy that took place at the Castelporziano Presidential Estate from 2 to 4 April.

On this occasion, experts from the world of research, associations, and institutions, including the Minister of the Environment Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, engaged in discussions. Also present were the Head of Service of the Presidential Estate Giulia Bonella and the President of WWF Italy Luciano Di Tizio, as well as several representatives of political parties.

Protected areas, such as the WWF Oases, are fundamental to achieving 30% of the national territory protected on land and at sea by 2030, as provided for by the national and European biodiversity strategies. The various participants at the Conference discussed strategies for achieving the 2030 goal and the issue of managing current and future protected areas. There was also discussion about the importance of providing protected areas with adequate human and economic resources, so that the system is effective and nature conservation is carried out in the best way possible. Achieving harmony between humans and nature is indeed essential for the well-being and health of all. In these areas, scientific research is conducted, environmental topics are disseminated, and economic development opportunities are offered to local populations.
