MEDITERRANEAN, CRADLE OF BIODIVERSITY. PROMOTING THE SUSTAINABLE USE OF MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEMS.
MEDFEST aims to promote the Mediterranean’s biodiversity, which plays a crucial role in supporting healthy ecosystems and human well-being. By understanding and protecting this natural treasure, we safeguard our planet and ensure a thriving future for all.
AN ALLIANCE FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
MEDFEST, in partnership with WWF, CNR, National Biodiversity Future Center and MASE, promotes training and research projects for the protection of the Mediterranean.
Through workshops, scientific studies and educational programs, MEDFEST aims to inspire action by fostering a deeper understanding of the critical importance of marine and terrestrial biodiversity among institutions, companies and citizens.
This Alliance makes it possible to develop concrete initiatives o fight pollution, protect fragile habitats and promote sustainable resource management. A collective effort that combines science, education and innovation to ensure a greener and more resilient future for the Mediterranean and its communities.
Mediterranean biodiversity accounts for 25 per cent of global marine species diversity.

NATIONAL BIODIVERSITY FUTURE CENTER
”La finalità del Progetto è unire la ricerca scientifica italiana d’eccellenza alle tecnologie più innovative, supportando monitoraggio, tutela, ripristino e valorizzazione della biodiversità, prevalentemente marina, degli ecosistemi terrestri, delle acque dolci e delle aree urbane”

Maria Chiara Carrozza.
Gli obiettivi del progetto coordinato dal CNR (Centro di Ricerche Nazionale) prevedono, entro il 2030, un recupero del 30% sulla riduzione della biodiversità e di almeno il 15%
per quanto riguarda gli equilibri ecosistemici, attraverso azioni di ripristino ecologico degli habitat.
