After 5 intense years of work in the field and coordination of activities and actions, the final conference of LIFE WolfAlps EU, organized in Trento from May 17 to 19, marked the milestone of a project that since 2019 has been able to disseminate a wealth of scientific knowledge and informative tools on the coexistence between human activities and wolves in the Alps.

An extraordinary sighting of specimens of the Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita) in the meadows between Avigliana and Borgone. These migratory birds are threatened with extinction and an international reintroduction project teaches young specimens the essential migration routes with the help of human adoptive parents flying on motorized hang gliders.

The protected areas of the Cozie Alps have entrusted the management of the alpine refuge Casa Assietta, dedicated to Jack Canali, to the temporary business group (ATI) consisting of ONALP by Plano Roberto, based in Susa (TO), and IL CASTAGNETO DI PIAN DEL CONTE by Sorba Laura, based in Villar Focchiardo (TO). The contract has a duration of six years, from 2024 to 2029, and includes the payment of an annual fee.

Within protected areas, certain human activities must adhere to environmental protection principles. Among these is the use of drones, which is permitted only for professional, monitoring, and scientific research purposes. The use of remotely piloted aircraft for these purposes in natural parks, nature reserves, and Natura 2000 sites managed by the Cozie Alps Protected Areas is subject to a specific request and impact assessment.
