The meeting 'Italy's Model Forests - a network of people for the development of territories', organized by the Mediterranean Forests Network at the Italian Ministry of Agriculture and Forests in cooperation with the General Directorate for Mountain Economy and Forests (DIFOR), was held in Rome on 20 February to welcome the second Italian Model Forest, that of the Aterno Valley, into the International and Mediterranean Network.
Due to the great participation of Model Forest members, institutions and stakeholders, the event was also the occasion to discuss the role of forests and their management in the context of the climate crisis and the regeneration of inland areas.
