The Natural Park of Gallipoli Cognato Piccole Dolomiti Lucane, geographically includes an area located at the center of the Apennine system and is an important ecological corridor linking continental Europe to the Mediterranean basin.

This territory, of considerable ecological value, is of particular importance for the conservation of migratory and permanent birds and is a priority habitat for the maintenance and reproduction of some species of birds of prey already extinct in Italy as nesting, which in these areas are still present in good numbers.

In this vision, the Park Authority has launched research programs on wildlife, establishing an ornithological station for scientific capture and ringing, a wild animal recovery center (CRAS), a census of wildlife species of national and international interest, at risk of extinction.

Confirmed for 2017 the ISO 14001: 2015 certification for our Park. The Park, aware that its responsibilities are connected to the management of the territory that falls under its direct competences and responsibilities and to the quality of life, present and future, of the people who live there, implements actions to improve the environmental management of its activities. Therefore, it has adopted institutional principles in order to structure an Environmental Policy that complies with the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard.
