They are commonly referred to by the English term "nudge," but the Italian translation of "pungolo" is equally effective. These are stimuli of all sorts aimed at eliciting a change in attitude or behavior in people: positive reinforcements opposed to coercion or the threat of a penalty.
The Orrido di Foresto Natural Reserve with its Via Ferrata, in the Municipality of Bussoleno, has significant tourist potential and, at the same time, an equally important responsibility. With the aim of a more conscious visitation of the Reserve and its Ferrata, the project “Towards the Top – Inclusive Mountain” has indeed begun to take its first steps this summer.
Among the protected species within protected areas, one must not forget homo sapiens. This column, which usually discusses the limitations imposed on human activities to preserve the environment, takes a diversion dedicated to an obligation introduced for safety reasons in avalanche danger situations: that of carrying an Artva, shovel, and probe on snowy terrain throughout the Italian mountainous territory, not just in the parks.
Winter is the most challenging season for many species living in the mountains. Winter hiking and ski mountaineering activities can disrupt - sometimes threaten - the delicate ecological balance of an environment already strained by natural elements.
Throughout the summer, park rangers have intervened on several occasions to warn mountain bikers who were riding on routes and trails within the Alpi Cozie Parks that are prohibited to bicycles. Some individuals justified their actions by claiming they had followed directions downloaded from certain websites or apps, but unfortunately, the regulations of a protected area do not allow ignorance of the rules. We take this opportunity, therefore, to reiterate the restrictions in place in the Protected Areas of the Alpi Cozie and explain the reasons behind them.
