Where we areWhere we areNucleo Ambientale a Cavallo is a Non Profit Association (NFP-ASC) sited

in a city of Abruzzo called Giulianova. The Abruzzo Region, sited in the Centre of Italy, can boast the presence of three National Park, one Regional Park and 38 protected areas, oases, Regional and State Reserves. In total, 36% of the Region is subject to environmental protection: this is a result that ranks the Abruzzo Region at the first place in Italy. In this regard, we can speak of a real system of protection at European interest. The reserves protect 1% of the region and are managed by municipalities in most cases rely on committees expanded to other entities and associations can undertake projects for the detection and study of flora and fauna species. Some reserves have regional management bodies that provide in addition to compliance with the standards of protection, planning tools and programs to develop the protected area.

The situation in AbruzzoThe situation in Abruzzo

A great percentage of municipalities in Abruzzo, more than 91%, has at least one technology from renewable sources in their territory.The novelty perhaps most important is represented by a generation increasingly distributed, which overturns the energy model built in the last centuries around to fossil fuels, the major renewable energy installations. The diffusion of renewable energy sources is changing the energy

landscape in our country and in our region. Thanks to these plants have reduced imports of fossil fuels and the production of polluting plants. Now is the time to give certainty to this perspective, focusing on a model more efficient, distributed, renewable. In recent years, many have argued that these results were simply impossible to achieve. Renewables have helped

create new jobs (over 100 thousand in Italy), led services, upgraded buildings and created new opportunities for applied research as well as greater well-being and quality of life.
