The Adda sopralacuale river and its ‘Contract’<\/span><\/h2><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Adda supralacuale river crosses the Valtellina, which collects water from the Rhaetian and Orobic slopes and then flows into Lake Como. In 2019, the ‘Contratto di Fiume dell’alto bacino del Fiume Adda’ (River Contract of the Upper Adda Basin) was signed, an initiative promoted by the Sondrio-based Valtellina Mountain Community for the enhancement and redevelopment of the basin, which, however, did not include many municipalities in the valley bottom among its signatories.<\/strong> The River Contract also provided for a planning action entitled ‘Greenway of the Adda’ for mapping all multifunctional river areas (i.e., capable of providing various <\/span>ecosystem services<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

A digital and innovative participatory pathway<\/span><\/h2><\/span>

As part of the <\/span>LIFE Gestire 2020<\/span><\/a> project, on behalf of ERSAF, Etifor managed a participatory process<\/strong> for the implementation of the “Greenway dell’Adda” action of the River Contract to define a supra-municipal ecological network functional to the conservation of biodiversity in Valtellina. The cycle of five meetings involved 15 local authorities, including the Province of Sondrio, municipalities and mountain communities in the valley bottom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Held online due to the pandemic, the course adopted innovative participatory mapping techniques to identify interventions<\/strong> for the development of the Greenway, both from the recreational-cultural-tourist and ecological-environmental points of view.<\/span><\/p>\n

Etifor then identified the funding opportunities for each intervention<\/strong> and drew up a summary document for developing the Greenway in lower Valtellina.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
