“Biodiversa-mente”: Towards World Environment Day
On the occasion of World Environment Day, the Biodiversity Research Center of Spinoso will host a morning dedicated to reflecting on the relationship between humans and nature, as well as promoting the biodiversity of the Appennino Lucano Val d’Agri Lagonegrese National Park.
During the event, topics related to biodiversity monitoring, conservation, and communication will be explored with contributions from researchers, experts, and institutional representatives. The day will open with welcome remarks from the Mayor of Spinoso, the President of the Appennino Lucano National Park Authority, and the Vice Rector of the University of Tuscia.
The event will also provide an opportunity to award the winners of the creative writing competition “Biodiversa-mente: Humans, Environment and Biodiversity in the Appennino Lucano National Park”, aimed at students who participated in the Work-Based Learning and Career Guidance Programmes (PCTO) at the Biodiversity Research Center. Through creative writing, students were invited to reflect on and describe their relationship with nature and biodiversity, drawing inspiration from their educational experience at the Center.
The initiative is organized by the Department of Ecological and Biological Sciences of the University of Tuscia, the Appennino Lucano Val d’Agri Lagonegrese National Park, and the Municipality of Spinoso. Special thanks are extended to Lacerenza Produzioni for its support of the initiative.
