The T.E.N. Project (Trentino Ecological Network): a focal point for a Pan-Alpine Ecological Network aims at achieving a multi-purpose Ecological Network on the provincial territory. This Network will be based on the Reserves Networks provided by the Provincial Law 11/2007 in order to enhance trentine biodiversity through its decentralized management involving local communities in accordance with the so-called principle of "responsible subsidiarity". The Multi-purpose Ecological Network will also be "open" to the territories surrounding Trentino region and will become an important part of continental, alpine and national ecological networks.
