The European Nature Trust aims to conserve and raise the profile of wildlife and ecosystems in Italy. Our efforts focus on Abruzzo National Park, where we are working to conserve flagship species and connect people to nature.

This wild area sits at the heart of the stunning Apennine mountain range. It is an area of exceptional natural beauty and biodiversity, with around one hundred indigenous species. The region is home to the Italian wolf, golden eagle, Abruzzi chamois, and of course, the Marsican brown bear – Europe’s most charismatic species. This keystone species is one of central Europe’s last remaining apex predators – for Italian ecosystems to thrive, so too must the Marsican brown bear population.
