Actions for the Promotion of Natural Resources of the WWF Guardiaregia-Campochiaro Oasis through the

The practice is related to an area having significant nature resources but not enough known outside boundaries of local municipalities. There was the need to ensure the conservation of the biodiversity in the area and the need to make it possible the knowledge of the characteristics of the places by a wider public, but ensuring also a behaviour of the public complying with environmental respect. So the organization involved in the creation and management of the area (WWF Network) had to identify a set of intervention tool able to ensure a balanced development of receptivity and promotion facilities. The best option was the implementation of infrastructural interventions and multimedia tools use. A Visit Center has been created with a room of over 200 sqm, with multimedia tools and traditional tools (diorama natural environments, maps, images, nature educational games, explanatory tables on flora and fauna, laboratory with microscopes). Campochiaro hosts a visit center dedicated to deer (Deer Museum and School Laboratory) with adjacent fauna of 9 hectares with some European deer specimens. It has been produced an Official leaflet for free distributed in Italian and English languages. A dedicated website has been created. The beneficiaries were Municipalities of Guardiaregia and Campochiaro, WWF Oasis (organization managing the Protected Area), University of Molise Researchers and Naturalists Graduate, Volunteers from WWF and other local associations.
