An Alpine Museum for Slovenia
by zopemaster — published Aug 19, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: , ,
In early August more than 1'000 mountaineers and mountain enthusiasts attended the opening of the Slovenian Alpine Museum (Slovenski planinski muzej - SPM) in Mojstrana/SI. The multitude of guests who attended underlines just how strong the demand is for such an institution in the Slovenian Alps. Slovenia owes its Alpine Museum first and foremost to Miro Eržen, who fought for the project for 25 years. The new Museum was officially inaugurated by the President of Slovenia Danilo Türk.

Gran Paradiso National Park: what is causing young ibexes to die out?
by zopemaster — published Aug 19, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: , , ,
Since the foundation of Italy's first national park in 1922, the Alpine Ibex has been preserved from extinction for the past 100 years or so. Now the ibex population at the Gran Paradiso National Park/I is seriously at risk. Three quarters of the young animals are dying during their first year of life. In 1993 the population totalled around 5'000 animals; today the population at the Gran Paradiso National Park is just under half that number. It is still unclear what is causing the death of the young bi-ungulates.

CIPRA Yearly Symposium: marginal creativity...
by zopemaster — published Sep 09, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: , ,
This year's CIPRA Symposium focuses on the socio-economic margins of the Alps. Why "margins"? Because the nearest hospital is a far away and the post office is only open in the morning; because the towns and cities are beckoning, and nature is gaining more and more ground. The prevailing process of urbanisation has little in the way of prospects to offer these mountain regions, whose potential is already low.

European mountain areas: focusing on trendsetting projects
by zopemaster — published Oct 20, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: , , ,
In mid-September 350 experts and interested participants from 23 countries gathered in Lillehammer/NO to discuss the implementation of innovative projects in European mountain areas. By now in the mountains of Europe there are already multiple trendsetting projects in progress. One of the conclusions reached by the experts is that a better usage needs to be made of that potential, and that it also needs to be expanded further.
