 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).

 GORP - Gran Sasso, Italy's National Parks
Established as a national park in 1991, the Gran Sasso d'Italia ("Big Rock of Italy") and Monti della Laga encompass a high spur of the Apennines from whose peaks the shimmering, faraway Adriatic Sea can be glimpsed.
Joining Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga to the south is Italy's version of Kings Canyon, La Maiella—meaning, in the dialect of the Abruzzo region, "the great mother." The huge limestone reef, 20 miles long, incorporates more than 60 peaks, all of them difficult and sometimes dangerous.
The pleasant city of L'Aquila, where the park's headquarters are located, is held by gastronomes to be one of the unsung capitals of Italian cuisine, so set aside your dehydrated rations and carboload in splendor heading in and going out.

 European Lynx Specialists Confer
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.
