With the reintroduction project, a communication campaign was carried out. The marmot was used as an instrument for spreading environmental awareness. Besides the traditional press bulletins on the local and national media, a “referendum” was car- ried out to give a name to the released animals. With the local TV a spe- cial report was made and the RAI-2 national television news dedicated a report to the project. A full page of the Park’s bulletin “Tracce” (56,000 copies) was dedicated to the reintroduction of the marmot. The project was also inserted in the environmental education programs. In the Park’s website a section dedicated to the project was created. A technical report and a text for children were published. kEy words: alpine marmot, reintroduction, Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, communication activities, environmental education INTRoDucTIoN The Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, created in 1993, is spread over 31,000 ha in the Province of Belluno (Italy), surrounded by the valleys of cismon (to the west), Piave (to the south) and Maè (to the east). It includes the mountains groups of the Alpi Feltrine, the Monti del Sole, the Schiara- Talvena, the Prampèr-Mezzodi and part of the Tamer-San Sebastiano group.

  • Wild Herbivores in Forests: Four Case Studies
    Wild herbivores in forests: four case studies Giorgio Sabetta, Emma Perracchione and Ezio Venturino Department of Mathematics ”G. Peano”, University of Turin - Italy Abstract. A three population system with a top predator population, i.e. the herbivores, and two prey populations, grass and trees, is considered to model the interaction of herbivores with natural resources. We apply the model for four natural mountain parks in Northern Italy, three located in the Eastern Alps, two of which in the Dolomites and one in the Julian Alps, and one in the Maritime Alps, Northwest Italy. The simulations, based on actual data gathered from contacts with rangers and parks administrators, field samplings and pub- lished material, provide useful information on the behavior of the vegetation- wild herbivores interactions and the possible medium-long term evolution of these ecosystems. At the same time they show that these ecosystems are in a very delicate situation, for which the animal populations could become extin- guished in case of adverse environmental conditions. The determination of the so-called sensitivity surfaces support our findings and indicate some possible preventive measures to the park admistrators. 1 Introduction The management of wild parks poses difficult questions to the administrators. The mutual relationships that arise between the various animal and vegetation populations living in them constitute a very complex network of interactions. To intervene in such situations by trying to modify one or some of the parameter values related to these interactions may lead to consequences that are hard to assess and might even be the opposite of the desired outcomes.

His invaluable little volume, which appeared in the same year and was the first of its kind, was entitled “Alta Via delle Dolomiti” and bore the number 1. It was published by Tamari Editori of Bologna, with several further editions in sub- sequent years. This Alta Via, just like its famous sister routes, has the peculiar characteristics of a long hike which can be divided up into various days. Refuges and fixed bivouacs can offer comfort at the stop-off points, but for those wishing to emulate the pioneers a tent or a sleeping bag can suffice. The basic route follows paths that are not particularly difficult for an experienced hill-walker, at least those of the Croda dei Tóni and the Antelao; in addition, passages or stretches that are a little rough are always equipped.

Hopkins (1844 - 1889) Nomination of the Dolomites for inscription on the World Natural Heritage List UNESCO THE TENTATIVE LIST AND THE NOMINATION OF THE DOLOMITES This Nomination Document is the answer to the Decision to defer the previous nomination of the Dolomites (2005) expressed by the World Heritage Commit- tee during the Thirty-first Session Christchurch, New Zealand (23 June – 2 July 2007). In detail, the World Heritage Committee having examined Documents WHC-07/31. COM/8B and WHC-07/31.COM/INF.8B.2, defers the examination of the nomina- tion of The Dolomites, Italy, to the World Heritage List on the basis of criteria (vii) and (viii). As outlined in the document licensed by the Word Heritage Committee at the end of the 29th session held in Durban, South Africa, in July 2005, Italy has proposed the Dolomites as one of the sites deserving consideration for a possible future nomination as a site of outstanding universal value. The request was included in annex 1 of the Tentative List dated march 31st 2005, whereas the denomination ‘Dolomites’ is defined in annex 2 “Tentative List Sub- mission in accordance with decision 27 Com 8a” and annex 3 (Properties ac- cepted as meeting the requirements for Tentative List), within the scope of the broader denomination ‘Alps’, which also includes a) Western Alps and c) Eastern Alps, under the category ‘Natural Sites’.

Under an international treaty called the Convention concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted in 1972, UNESCO has so far approved 689 cultural, 176 natural and 25 mixed sites in 148 countries around the world. The inclusion of the Dolomites in the World Heritage List is therefore an extraordinary form of recognition, but it also implies a strong commitment and responsibility for the safeguarding and sustainable development of this wonderful region. 4 5 carried out with the support of the administrative and technical divisions of The Value of the Dolomites, the Provinces in question and with the scientific input of experts and scholars in the fields of geology and landscape. Consultation at local, national and a World Heritage Site international level was crucial in helping to define the principles and objectives of management within the context of a unified strategy.

The “Masiere di Vedana” rock avalanche, located in the Belluno Dolomites (NE Italy) at the foot of the Mt. Peron, is re-interpreted as Historic on the base of archeological information and cosmogenic 36Cl exposure dates. The deposit is 9 km2 wide, has a volume of ~170 Mm3 correspondings to a pre-detachment rock mass of ~130 Mm3, and a maximum runout distance of 6 km and an H/L ratio of ~0.2. Differential velocities of the rock avalanche moving radially over different topography and 5 path-material lead to the formation of specific landforms (tomas and compressional ridges). In the Mt. Peron crown the bedding is subvertical and includes carbonate lithologies from lower Jurassic (Calcari Grigi Group) to Cretaceous (Maiolica) in age. The proximal deposit is made of Calcari Grigi Group limestone, the distal deposit comprises upper Jurassic limestones (Fonzaso Formation, Rosso Ammonitico, and Maiolica), while the middle Jurassic Vajont Limestone dominates the central sector of the deposit.

The most renowned scholars have been looking for its original route for years, but it's still today an unsolved mystery. The discovery of a milestone, preserved today in Villa Zugni Tauro at the Centenere, pointing out part of the Claudia Augusta Altinate route in Cesiomaggiore, aknowledges this path as the original one. Belluno Sovramonte Croce d'Aune Mel Pass Lentiai Lamon Pedavena Busche Praderadego Feltre Pass Researches and hypothesis identify different possible routes, basing also on the Empire's different needs (military, commercial or social). It is most likely that Praderadego is one of them, if not even, as many suspect, the same military route. In fact, in the surroundings of this passage, a very important late Roman — high medieval site was discovered, where they found several objects like coins and everyday tools and paving stones with the technical and structural characteristics typical of the Roman roads. Moreover, along the way, the magnificent Zumelle Castle rises.
