Parc naturel régional de Tepilora, Sant'Anna et Rio Posada

This regional natural park covers thousands of hectares across northeastern Sardinia with forested mountains and open landscapes. The protected area contains interconnected forest zones and mountain regions that support diverse wildlife habitats.

The protected area was established in 2014 after local municipalities and environmental groups agreed to preserve it in 2008. This agreement represented a turning point in how the region approaches land conservation and management.

The communities surrounding this place maintain traditional ways of living that connect them to the land through agriculture and pastoral practices. Daily life here revolves around respecting the natural environment that shapes the rhythm of local work.

The best time to visit is during spring and autumn when mild weather makes paths easier to walk and wildlife more active. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and bring water, as some areas are remote and lack developed facilities.

The area received UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status in 2017, a recognition rarely given in Sardinia for such locations. This designation reflects the scientific importance of the ecosystems and their protective role for both nature and local communities.
