Certifying Ecosystem Services in Val di Fiemme

  • 2020

The Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme, a historic institution in the Italian Alps, manages a forest heritage of over 19,500 hectares, certified since 1997 under the FSC® standard. This territory is a model of sustainable forest management that protects biodiversity, ensures carbon sequestration, and preserves water and soil quality. However, extreme climatic events such as Storm Vaia have jeopardized the resilience of these forests and their ability to provide benefits—so-called ecosystem services—to the community and surrounding area.
