A project funded by the Italian Ministry of Health’s National Complementary Plan: “Well-Designed and Well-Managed Green and Blue Spaces to Improve Health and Well-Being: Scientific Evidence and Green Prescriptions”

The PNC research project “The Effective Use of Green and Blue Spaces to Promote Health and Well-Being”, funded by the Italian Ministry of Health, was launched in 2023 and will run through 2026.

On 7 October 2026 in Rome, at the ISPRA Conference Room, as part of the project’s events for disseminating its results, some of the outputs produced as part of the project will be presented.

Habitat is not just a home for humans, but a dwelling place for all species
Habitat is not just a home for humans, but a dwelling place for all species
Oct 05, 2026

The UN World Habitat Day, celebrated this year on October 5, was established to reflect on the urban environments in which we live. But science teaches us that there is no boundary between our home and that of nature. Protecting the human habitat means, first and foremost, safeguarding the ecosystem that sustains all forms of life.

For this reason, today we are launching the second episode of our documentary series dedicated to biodiversity monitoring. The series was produced with funding from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), as part of the DigitAP project, promoted and implemented by the Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE), with the support of ISPRA and funding from the European Union – NextGenerationEU. ISPRA played a leading role in the project’s scientific direction.
