Nature and tourism

Mondoeco
lists major sites of nature and landscape conservation. We are strongly interested in providing a map of Sites listed in the networks Natura 2000 and Biosphere Reserves, that include Sites of Community Importance in terms of related biological diversity. Despite their possible marginal location, and even though they are roughly unknown, those sites play a very important environmental role: when properly managed, they enhance a significative input to the sustainable development, both ecologically and economically.
With more than 500 nature sites, our maps also display major National or Regional Parks, Nature routes, and Gastro-routes. As from some sites, description may be reported in the national language only.

Nature sites are showed from the above map as flower-icons.
Choose from the above map your best natural site to visit, by clicking it.
