Abstract:
The Mont Avic Park protects an area of the south-eastern Aosta Valley (Italy) with particular landscapes and natural features which, until the late 1980s, remained almost unexplored from a scientific point of view. In the course of its twenty years of operation, the park administration has promoted a substantial series of environmental monitoring research projects and campaigns and the protected area is now one of the best-known of the Western Italian Alps. For the last seven years, the park has also implemented an Environmental Management System which, in 2003, led to its ISO 14001 certification as well as to EMAS registration, thus becoming the first protected area in Italy and in Europe to have received this prestigious recognition by the European Community. The management policy for the protected area, developed through this innovative approach, provides for a continual improvement of the knowledge about the various environmental components through specific scientific research activities, enabling the park administration to create a framework of reference material, which is increasingly comprehensive and constantly updated, and ensuring that adequate management and planning strategies are carried out to protect the biodiversity and promote the territory, with additional positive effects on the local communities and local economy.

The journal “eco.mont” – Journal of protected mountain areas research and management – was published for the first time in June 2009.
The journal was founded as a joint initiative of the Alpine Network of Protected Areas (ALPARC), the International Scientific Committee on Research in the Alps (ISCAR), the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and the University of Innsbruck.
The journal aims to highlight research on and management issues in protected areas in the Alps without excluding other protected mountain areas in Europe or overseas. Its target audiences are scientists from all related disciplines, managers of protected areas and interested individuals including practitioners, visitors, teachers, etc.
The journal presents peer-reviewed articles in English by authors who research protected mountain areas and management issues within these areas. It's published twice a year as a collaboration of the Austrian Academy of Sciences Press – responsible for the e-version – and Innsbruck University Press – responsible for the print version.
Die Zeitschrift „eco.mont“ – Zeitschrift zur Forschung in Gebirgsschutzgebieten – erschien im Juni 2009 zum ersten Mal. Die Zeitschrift wurde auf Initiative des Netzwerks Alpiner Schutzgebiete (ALPARC), der Schweizer Akademie der Naturwissenschaften (ISCAR), der Österreichischen Akademie für Wissenschaft (ÖAW) und der Universität Innsbruck gegründet. Sie hat das Ziel, Themen zu behandeln, die gleichzeitig Forschung und Verwaltung in und über die Schutzgebiete der Alpen betreffen, ohne dabei andere Gebirgsschutzgebiete Europas oder anderswo auszuschließen. Diese neue Zeitschrift richtet sich an ein Publikum von Wissenschaftlern der verschiedensten Fachbereiche, an die Verwalter von Schutzgebieten und an alle sonstigen Interessierten, Praktiker, Besucher, Lehrpersonal etc. einbegriffen. Die Zeitschrift veröffentlicht begutachtete Beiträge auf Englisch von Autoren, die Fragen der Gebirgsschutzgebieten und deren Verwaltung forschen. Sie erscheint zweimal pro Jahr, auf der Basis der gemeinsamen Anstrengungen des Verlags der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, der für die digitale Fassung verantwortlich ist, und der Presse der Universität Innsbruck, verantwortlich für die gedruckte Fassung.
