European Parks Day, 24 May 2025. Citizen Science Initiative at Castelli Romani Regional Park

On the occasion of the European Parks Day, May 24, 2025, the National Biodiversity Network participates and supports the Citizen Science initiative promoted by the Castelli Romani Regional Park Authority. The initiative aims to raise awareness among participants of the role that protected areas play in the management of territories for the purpose of conserving biodiversity. The topic of the main European and national regulatory instruments will be addressed - National Biodiversity Strategy 2030 and the European Regulation on nature restoration - and how much they recognize the importance of the active involvement of citizens and local communities. Park rangers and ISPRA experts will also illustrate the important contribution made by protected natural areas to nature conservation and the dangers represented by the fragmentation and degradation of natural habitats.
