In this respect, Parks are not just useless fenced-off areas, but material proof that a community has acknowledged the intrinsic, inalienable worth of a territory. At the present time, abruzzo is heading a most complex and ambitious project: APE (Apennine Park of Europe)which will protect nature and promote sustainable development in line with European Union directives.
The three national parks (the historic Abruzzo National Park, and the more recent Gran Sasso-Laga Mountains and Majella Nation Parks), and Sirente-Velino Regional Park, as well more than 30 Nature Reservs and Oases, managed directly by the municipalities, by the State Forestry Service, or in collaboration with environmentalist associations, make Abruzzo the Region of Parks, with About 30% of its territory under protection.
The lushness and wide variety of the natural landscapes make Abruzzo a haven of ecological and environmental values. The particular morphology of inland areas, the gentle subcoastal hills and the marine environments have created exceptionally powerful habitats. Noble, rugged Gran Sasso, with its limestone, dominates the Appenines; just beneath the north face of Corno Grande we find the Calderone glacier; unique on the Apennines and furthest in all Europe. South of the massif there is the endless Campo Imperatore, at 1800m in altitude. the Laga Mountains, with their springs, rivers and forests.
