Alpi Ledrensi e Judicaria (Italy)

Set between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites, the Alpi Ledrensi – Judicaria Biosphere Reserve has been acknowledged as such not only because of its exceptional biodiversity and amazing historical-cultural heritage, but also because of the balance it has achieved between man and nature throughout the centuries. Although the Reserve is just 30 km long as the crow flies, the difference in elevation within its boundaries exceeds 3,000 metres, thus including very diverse environments: Dolomite peaks, the banks of the Sarca and Chiese rivers, the agricultural terraces of Tennese and the narrow Alpine valleys of Val di Ledro, the lush natural amphitheatre of Giudicarie Esteriori and the high-elevation pastures of Malga Alpo in the Chiese valley.
