The Constitutional Court declared illegitimate the 2021 law with which the Abruzzo Region had cut about 7,000 hectares of territory of great importance for the Marsican #bear, #griffin, golden eagle, rock partridge and many other species from the Sirente Velino Regional Natural Park.
Salviamo l’Orso, which together with many other associations had fought strenuously to prevent the umpteenth reduction of the perimeter of the only regional park in Abruzzo, thanks the Constitutional Court for having recalled the principles of biodiversity protection to which the European Union and our country are inspired.
Our association invites the Abruzzo Region, once the Green Region of Europe, to repent and not persevere in the illogical and anachronistic choice of reducing the protected area. Salviamo l’Orso wants to continue collaborating with local authorities and communities to pursue the objectives that our era of biodiversity decline on earth due to the impact of human activities imposes on us, especially in the Sirente Velino Regional Natural Park which has just obtained the European Charter for Sustainable Tourism.
