Historical and scientific documentation on geographic areas of natural interest are part of an environmental project such as promotion for touristic or agricultural scopes, protection of areas, parks and sanctuaries, monitoring of flora and fauna.
Planning a project based on natural resources is an interactive work that takes great profit from gathering all possible relevant information, scientific and historical, creating networks of knowledge transfer and organising initiatives that can contribute to promotion, protection and maintenance of a given area of interest.
Often, a large amount of knowledge and traditions, owned by the communities of inhabitants, is still present in or around the area we want to develop or recreate. Still it needs gathering, re-elaboration and reorganisation into a new structure. This implies also a good social approach and a structured scheme of interactions in order to gather knowledge and integrate it with the naturalistic and scientific aspects of the project.
