A_4 Provincia Autonoma di Trento
In the Provincia Autonoma di Trento, surveillance and control is entrusted to various legally authoritative
bodies. The provincial Forestry Corps, the provincial parks’ management boards, and the forest
guards of the municipalities control the conservation status of the species and natural and seminatural
habitats, of the flora and wild fauna. In particular, the several dozen officers and executive
staff of the provincial Forestry Corps are qualified as police officers and officers of the Investigative
Police Force; the Park Rangers (the Parco Adamello – Brenta has twelve rangers in force; the Parco
Paneveggio – Pale di San Martino has six, four of which in the Dolomites area) are qualified as officers
of the Investigative Police Force; and the Forest Guards employed by the Municipalities are
Sworn Security Guards with the same authority as Investigative Police Force officers. For action in
the Nature 2000 areas, an impact assessment for each project must be carried out by the staff of the
provincial department responsible for nature conservation. With regard to landscape-environment
protection in the natural park areas, the Provincial Commission for Landscape and Environmental
Protection must authorize any works that could alter the physical state of the places, always providing
that such works are not included in the types of action subject to the EIA (Environmental Impact
Assessment) procedure. For works below the threshold above which the EIA is required, in the
zones included in the “Areas for Environmental Protection” of the Provincial Land Planning, however,
the District Commissions for Landscape and Environmental Protection are responsible for issuing
authorization.

authority as regards the protection of the landscape, and for town and country planning, as foreseen
