Rispetta la montagna – Risparmia l’acqua e riduci i rifiuti quando visiti le Dolomiti WHS

The Dolomites, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009 for their natural beauty and geological significance, face increasing environmental challenges due to rising tourism. A recent initiative, 'Respect the Mountain' (Rispetta la montagna), launched in 2021, addresses this by promoting sustainable behavior among visitors, locals, and tourism professionals. The project focuses on water conservation and waste reduction through awareness campaigns coordinated by the Autonomous Province of Bolzano-South Tyrol, IDM South Tyrol, and local tourism associations. This collaborative effort aims to mitigate environmental impacts while preserving the Dolomites' unique ecosystem for future generations.
