About Gargano National Park
The Gargano National Park (Italian: Parco nazionale del Gargano) is a national park in the province of Foggia in southern Italy. Aside from the Gargano promontory (encompassing the ancient woodlands of the Foresta Umbra) from which it takes its name, it includes also the Tremiti Islands archipelago and the wetlands Lago Salso. It is the largest park in Apulia. The National Park of Gargano (UNESCO site) is one of the few national protected areas efficiently contributing to the "un Bosco per Kyoto" project, which in 2007 has involved several schools in the realization of projects for a social and responsible tourism.
