Note
The Congress, held in September 2015 in NotoVendicari
(Siracusa, Sicily, Italy) (Figs. 1, 2), the
Sicilian town declared as World Heritage Site by
UNESCO, represented a new opportunity for scientific
debate (as in the previous meetings held in
2012 in Palermo and 2014 in Cefalù-Castelbuono,
Sicily, Italy), among university researchers and
scholars, members of scientific and environmentalist
associations, operators involved in environmental
management and territorial planning,
managers of protected areas, scholars dealing in
energy resources, communication and environmental
education.
In particular, the conference focused on: i) plant
and animal biodiversity; ii) biological and ecological
research, included the anthropogenic impact,
particularly in the Mediterranean, placing attention
on protected areas and their role; iii) issues related
to the debate concerning the sustainability and its
perspectives in the field of energy, medicine, education
and involvement of civil society.
