The new educational activities on the theme of wolves, organized by the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps and aimed at schools of all levels, are officially starting. After extensive preparation, experimentation, and scientific validation, in January, the results of the work were presented to the entire group of Guides of the Cozie Alps Parks, who are now ready to welcome the school groups.
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.

Il lupo nelle Alpi: azioni coordinate per la conservazione del lupo nelle aree chiave e sull’intero arco alpino
In the territories where today the Parks of the Cottian Alps are located, and in general throughout the entire Alpine arc, the wolf became extinct between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century due to human hunting activity. Starting from the 1970s, from a small nucleus of wolves of the subspecies Canis lupus italicus present in the Apennines of Central Italy (between 100 and 200 individuals), a process of numerical growth and spontaneous recolonization began, leading the species to spread throughout the entire peninsula.
The 2017 calendar of the Parks of the Cottian Alps is dedicated to the wolf and the European project LIFE WOLFALPS.
If you think of the wolf, what comes to mind? Who is it, where does it live, what does it eat? Should we be afraid of it? We will learn to know the "real" wolf, we will be able to distinguish it from the animal present in stories and from the sensationalistic one evoked in newspapers.
What is the first adjective that comes to mind when you think of the wolf? Bad, good, cunning, hungry, aggressive, mysterious...? The presence of the wolf, real or imaginary, has always accompanied human beings. The course will explore the relationship between man and wolf over time and history, drawing on literary materials (classical literature, fiction, myths, and popular local and non-local legends) that will be provided to the class as a stimulus and starting point for a broader reflection.
The choice to dedicate a path to the landscape arises to highlight the similarities between wolves and humans and to analyze the environment that surrounds us in a more detailed way.
An increasingly anthropized Earth urgently requires us to reflect on the needs, critical issues, limits, and strategies necessary for sharing spaces with other living beings and utilizing the planet's resources. A path that will challenge our ability to engage in dialogue-listening.
Una giornata nella scuola del bosco per piccoli lupi con prove e giochi di scoperta per diventare dei curiosi esploratori capaci di "vedere" la natura.
