Sonia Ferrari from the University of Calabria presented at the PM4SD European Summer School about strategic planning for Sila National Park. Protected natural areas have environmental protection and promotion mandates. A survey of summer school visitors to Sila National Park found that their main interests were hiking, nature observation, and environmental education, and most were aware they were visiting a protected area and interested in returning.
