- The creation of nature reserves and protected areas of any kind plays a fundamental role in the protection of biodiversity and entire ecosystems. In fact, this protection guarantees that the fragile ecosystem balance survives.
- planting trees for the creation of new woods: woods and forests are natural systems that offer a wide range of ecosystem services ranging from the supply of wood products (HWP – Harvested Wood Products) and other “forest products” (fruits, mushrooms, truffles, … etc .), the protection of the soil and the hydrogeological structure, the conservation of biodiversity, tourist and landscape-recreational functions, the absorption of carbon with the function of contrasting climate warming, the absorption of particulate pollutants (PM – Particulate Matter ) and other airborne pollutants. Forest management (GFS) and the improvement of woods and forests therefore represent a significant opportunity for companies that want to support their ecosystem services in the context of offsetting their carbon footprint or that of their products / services, or in any case by supporting national environmental conservation, protection and improvement projects by implementing their own CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policies. Other benefits: reduction of fire risk and risk of hydrogeological instability.
- organize communication and awareness activities for the protection of maritime areas (seabed and its flora and fauna, beaches, water).
- Create vertical gardens and “green roofs” to improve the urban microclimate that leads to the improvement of air quality (by intercepting dust and other atmospheric pollutants), regulation of the urban microclimate, containment of the heat island in the city, regulation of meteoric water flows, providing leisure / recreation opportunities, improving the quality of life, conserving biodiversity, absorbing greenhouse gases and much more.
Note the resources required, the challenges presented, the benefits which can accrue with each of these technologies or methodologies
