| Abstract | The theme of natural parks in the Calabria region in southern Italy, is strategically important for the development prospects of the whole region. The Calabrian system of national parks is the result of centuries of history, not always virtuous, between protectionist impulses and systemic blocks the to the formation process of the protected areas. The system of nature in Calabria has now undisputed primates that are derived more or less directly from its geographical position, its topography and its history, which has conditioned the actual presence of very high levels of biodiversity protection. The economic substrate, however, correlated with demographic and welfare indicators, clearly reveals the relationship level between extreme environmental quality and the continuing and persistent structural backwardness of these areas. The Pollino case is emblematic of this convergence of factors, a microcosm for the most part intact, which show a recessive income situation without obvious signs of business activism. All this despite being a heavily populated area, with fragmented communalities and industrial areas that was never able to influence the development of the territory. Significant environmental quality, despite the territorial and economic fragility, which can become itself the catalyst of development phenomenon. The possible Models to intercept this development are based on the enhancement of the rediscovery of local identities and the ability to activate virtuous processes of integration of sector policies, in the micro-economic fields that the territory express. |
