	Managing mountain parks: Special challenges
		One of the earliest was in the Central Apennines, using Abruzzo National Park as a nucleus with proposals to link it with seven other national or regional parks and a series of 21 small nature reserves, refuges and oases, to create a conservation area of some 600 000 ha (Tassi, 1994).
		For instance, the damage to the mountain gorilla population (and to tourism receipts) in Rwanda's Volcans National Park is a major tragedy, and the affected area extends to the entire transborder complex which includes Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Gorilla National Park in Uganda.
		Many of these are protected in national parks, national monuments or some type of reserve as, for example, Nanda Devi (India), Huangshan (China) and Tongariro (New Zealand).

		Regarding proposals for reintroduction in central Italy's Abruzzo National Park, Wotschikowsky said it was doubtful whether the area belonged to Lynx lynx or Lynx pardina (the Iberian lynx).
		At the end of the 19th century lynx survived only in the Masurian lakeland in the northeast, the Biaolwieza Forest bordering the USSR and the Carpathian mountains in the south.
		Herrenschmidt concluded that all reintroductions in a western country, such as France, must be preceded by an agreement with farmers on a system of evaluation of the reasons for sheep deaths.
