Nature Reserves
In addition to parks, environmental values and biodiversity are protected in a multitude of smaller protected areas, classified as provincial or local reserves depending on the value of the natural features present. They consist of land, river or lake areas that are home to one or more naturalistically important species of fauna and flora, or have one or more ecosystems that are important for biological biodiversity or the conservation of genetic resources.
Provincial nature reserves are included in the Natura 2000 network, the European system of areas intended for the protection of a series of habitats, animal and plant species.
In Trentino nature reserves are managed, in many geographical areas, by Networks of Reserves.
All nature reserves in Trentino
Consult the list of areas in Trentino dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity and associated natural and cultural resources, established and regulated by law. A dedicated sheet is published for each of the areas.
Networks of reserves
Trentino has devised an innovative system to manage existing small protected areas, located in homogeneous areas, more effectively and with a bottom-up approach. This is the innovative Reti di Reserves project.
Networks of Reserves
In Trentino, amalgamations of small, naturalistically homogeneous protected areas are managed through Networks of Reserves.
In these areas local communities - public bodies, entrepreneurs, associations and private citizens - participate in the conservation of biodiversity and sustainable economic development.
To date, 10 Networks of Reserves have been established, some of which are known as Local Nature Parks or River Parks.

Biodiversity, a common heritage
The Earth's true wealth is biodiversity, that is, the boundless and not yet fully understood variety of living forms and the ecological communities of which they are part.

LIFE is the main financial instrument of the European Union dedicated to the environment and climate action.
In Trentino it has financed the important T.E.N. (Trentino Ecological Network) project and two smaller projects concerning the provincial ecological network
LIFE+TEN
Trentino Ecological Network: a focal point for Pan-alpine ecological network.
To develop and implement a new model for the medium and long-term management of the protected areas of the Trentino Natura 2000 Network, based on a long-term strategic vision that is economically sustainable and socially well accepted.
