In balance with the environment
The mountains are a living, complex, and remarkably delicate ecosystem. Every element – from the largest animals to the smallest flowers, from forests to rocks – contributes to a natural balance that has developed over time and must now be understood and respected.
Living in the mountains means learning to observe them carefully, recognizing their signals, and adopting mindful and respectful behaviors toward everything that inhabits them. Only in this way can we help preserve this unique natural heritage and ensure that it continues to provide life, beauty, and inspiration for future generations.
In this section, we offer insights and guidance for learning more about Trentino’s wildlife and flora, and for discovering how to coexist harmoniously with alpine nature.
A symbol of strength and freedom, the brown bear has returned to Trentino’s forests after many years of absence. Understanding its habits and knowing how to behave in case of an encounter is essential for peaceful coexistence between humans and nature.
Legendary and fascinating, the wolf plays a crucial role in maintaining the natural balance of our ecosystems. Understanding its role and learning the rules for respectful coexistence helps overcome fears and prejudices, promoting sustainable living alongside nature.
Roe deer, chamois, eagles, and marmots: alpine wildlife represents a rich biodiversity that deserves care and respect. Every encounter with a wild animal is a privilege, but also a responsibility: observe them from a distance without disturbing them, so as not to disrupt their natural balance.
Alpine flora is a palette of colors and fragrances that changes with the seasons. From rhododendrons to lilies, every species tells the story of an environment that lives in fragility and adaptation. Learning to recognize and respect them – without picking or trampling – is an act of love for the mountains.
Alongside the richness of biodiversity, some alien invasive species can threaten the natural balance of alpine ecosystems. Knowing them and helping to control them is crucial for protecting Trentino’s native flora and fauna.
