An integral reserve in Mugello

A new horizon for biodiversity

In an era of unprecedented climate change, the Fondazione Capellino and the Mountain Union of Mugello Municipalities have signed an unprecedented memorandum of understanding, committing themselves to a cutting-edge environmental management plan.

This protocol aims to establish a new model in biodiversity conservation by adopting restrictive measures on human activities to protect our natural heritage. At the center of this agreement, an area of Mugello is even destined to become an integral reserve, a sanctuary where nature can thrive undisturbed.

The agreement

With an agreement signed on the initiative of Fondazione Capellino, which not only participates by financing environmental monitoring and studying the impact of climate change in the prefigured area, but also promotes an innovative twinning with the city of Florence, in which the foundation is already carrying out its work. The union promoted between the city of Florence and the natural area of Mugello is therefore not only symbolic, but represents a firm turning point.

It goes beyond theoretical discussions on sustainable cities that resolve nothing, proposing a revolutionary model in which human and natural spaces coexist in harmony, where the impact is minimised in the former, and in the latter, humans should give up entering.

The vision

The agreement for greater conservation of the natural area together with the twinning with the city makes biodiversity emerge as a protagonist, and emphasises the importance of giving back to nature what cities take away with their consumption, acting firmly to rebalance the relationship between man and environment.

For the first time, a city joins a natural area in a formal connection, marking a paradigm shift in our relationship with the natural world. Inspired by the theories of the famous biologist Edward O. Wilson, Fondazione Capellino also with this project aims to leave half the planet to wild and uncontaminated nature, outlining a future in which urban areas and cultivations are clearly separated by an immense network of protected areas, interconnected by ecological corridors that guarantee their continuity. A revolutionary way to review the impact of man on other living organisms and safeguard the Planet.
