Oasi

PRESENTATION

In spite of their rather reduced dimensions, the oases of the National Federation Pro Natura, are an extremely rare testimony of the biodiversity of the Italian peninsula and are rather unsuitable to the tastes of the kind of tourism which seeks attraction from a zoo or a botanical garden. On the contrary, the oases are of great significance for the preservation of nature and its didactical aspects.

It is, therefore, not by chance that each of these oases have been named “Open-air Ecological Laboratory.” The system of the oasis laboratory of the National Federation Pro Natura is the result of the efforts of a generation of men and women who have struggled to protect and preserve the biodiversity through education, information and tangible intervention on the territory.

Our hope is that through the knowledge of the Federation, a forceful adhesion and a concrete commitment will continue to spread notably as well as efficaciously.
