Salvezza e rilancio per le Aree Protette italiane
Manifesto Appello di San Rossore
I parchi naturali e le altre aree protette rappresentano oggi un baluardo contro le dilaganti aggressioni nei confronti del territorio e della biodiversità e costituiscono una speranza per the future because they are special laboratories that perform management models that demonstrate how to combine conservation and development and to focus on the person-nature.
The current mission that history relies on protected areas is therefore a strategic mission: to help save the Earth from the risk of catastrophe ambientale.Il role that they play a role is of general interest.
Precisely because of that role is growing worldwide, the number of protected natural areas, rises to the level of quality of interventions at both national and international level.
In Italy, however, protected areas have experienced a serious crisis in recent years is that its cause fundamental to the underestimation and, sometimes, even in the banality of that role, too often interpreted in pseudoaziendalistica and the resulting progressive institutional neglect, culminating in the heavy cutting of public funding by the Government in July 2010.Il Italian system of protected areas could thus be deleted.
Thought since the '10s of the last century began with the creation of the first national parks in the early 20's and gradually built since the '70s, this system - consisting of a thousand protected areas (national parks and regional marine protected areas, nature reserves, etc..) protecting well beyond the 10% of the national area in 1980 had been a challenge launched by the Environmental Italian for the establishment of the parks - is one of the great achievements of civilization of our country and meets the guidelines of law framework, the 394, 1991, a bill very late, unanimously approved after thirty years of elaboration and struggle. It is a system that, despite several flaws and problems, has put Italy perfectly in line with standards set by the international debate, which allowed the preservation of areas of exceptional natural value and protection of one of the richest biodiversity in Europe , which allowed a number of vital activities and experiments, which gave unprecedented energy, new skills and an exceptional charge of innovation and imagination.
The awards from around the world testify to the value of the system and the results it has achieved in spite of the historic underfunding.
The cost of protected areas, in fact, insignificantly affects the state budget and the Regions: to give just one glaring example, the 23 national parks in recent years have cost just over € 50 million a year, a cost which is equal to that of just 2 km of highways in the design of the devastating and that is absolutely not comparable with the high cost of the tools not to the defense of nature, but the military defense.
Those results have been able to obtain thanks to the passion, selflessness, the innovative capacity of a movement that has developed around the protected areas and which is composed of professionals, scholars, managers, associations, which represent for professionalism and collaborative spirit a great wealth for the whole country.
Now everything risks being lost.
With the latest cut, which weighs dramatically on all the protected areas, many of them - certainly the national parks that have seen half the endowment fund - will not be able to cope even with all compulsory and will also be precluded 'access to additional resources and in particular to EU funds. So
International Year of Biodiversity, and the organizations and international agreements in protected areas see a fundamental tool to address the environmental crisis and while the Italian Plan on Biodiversity adopted in October last year underlines the importance of their role, they risk the paralysis and the risk that movement and the impotence frustrazione.Questi risks are just the tip of the iceberg, indicative of a general disinterest of the current Italian ruling classes, national and regional, with respect to the conservation of nature, which no longer seems to be a problem, nor a priority, not even a goal just as the environmental crisis precipitated a global and national levels.
sign of this neglect that leads to increasingly nell'insofferenza is also the ongoing disposal of any comprehensive policy for protected areas by the national government in the first place, but also from many regions.
The situation is even worse when you consider that the dramatic consequences of this crisis is not unique to our country, since the conservation of nature is a universal value and biodiversity protection certainly does not stop at national borders, and also have a profound effect on rights of future generations that must now be the cynosure of all government of things pubblica.Noi, administrators, staff and volunteers of parks and other protected areas scholars and planners, activists of many and various environmental associations, trade unions and politicians, ordinary citizens call the public, the movements and the Italian institutions in a strong reaction not only for salvation, but also and above all for a great revival of Italian protected areas system in the spirit of the law 394.
E 'this is the new challenge that we intend to launch because we are convinced that the mission today, the story relies on parks and other protected areas is to help save our planet, that the functions of environmental protection, economic development and cultural progress of its system of protected areas are critical to the future of our country, a secure future, sustainable, marked with the minimum requirements of civilization, for we are convinced that the Italian company wants to well protected areas, and therefore capable of responding positively and enthusiastically to our challenge, that movement, in spite of this disappointment and fatigue, still contains within itself enormous potential, tangible and intangible, and has the strength and the will to react and fight. We intend to give voice to this movement and at the same time we want to help shape and develop the elements and objectives of a new policy for protected areas.
