Planet Earth Week in Campania: events to celebrate Nature

Pausilypon Archaeological Park

From the 3 10 October 2021 we will celebrate Planet Earth Week throughout Italy, including the Region Campania, with a series of events that will transform our country into a great geological laboratory.

From north to south you will take part in very interesting initiatives such as the search for cetaceans where there is no longer the sea, walks in the footsteps of dinosaurs, excursions to incredible caves and much more. These are all initiatives that aim to get closer to our Earth, which we must protect and protect, and which lead us to discovery of the varied geological and environmental heritage of the boot.

Earth Week aims to create greater attention and curiosity about the relationship between nature and man and the scheduled events increase our awareness of the importance of interactions with the environment around us.

Campania will participate with some truly suggestive events, a series of "geoevents" not to be missed.
