Mompantero & Bussoleno
Alpine slopes above Bussoleno and Mompantero, named in Piedmont's plan for restoring land burned in the autumn 2017 wildfires.
Real location and documented needs. No Eden site or partnership confirmed.
What the published record says.
After the autumn 2017 wildfires and the slope instability that followed, Regione Piemonte approved an extraordinary restoration plan in 2019 that names Bussoleno, Chianocco and Mompantero.
Documented fire-recovery landscape as of 2019. Some slopes will have recovered since; an updated field assessment would come first.

The places on this site are real, and the environmental evidence is cited. Eden hospitality, prices, availability, booking, Impact Passport activity and Impact Credits are simulations. Nothing is bookable and no payment is ever taken.
Fire recovery monitoring with valley forestry work
What we would propose here, if local partners wanted it. Nothing below has been agreed.
Proposed environmental focus
Monitor natural recovery and support locally appropriate assisted regeneration and erosion-aware trail care on forestry-approved ground.
Proposed community focus
Paid local forestry and mountain guiding, and purchasing from valley producers, agreed with the people already doing that work.
What could be useful here.
For the place
- Recording natural regeneration in monitoring plots
- Assisted planting only where forestry services direct it
- Erosion-aware trail maintenance on approved paths
- Seed collection and nursery support
With the community
- Contracting valley forestry crews and mountain guides
- Buying food and materials from valley producers
- Craft and heritage work paid at professional rates
- Any training designed with local providers
- Dignified paid employment
- Local enterprise & procurement
- Education & youth training
- Cultural preservation
Indicators, not claims.
Proposed indicators — baseline pending, nothing measured yet. Any baseline would be set by an independent survey agreed locally before work began.

How it would feel
The first frame is a photograph of the real landscape. The rest is concept imagery; not documentation of this location or of a built Eden Habitat.
Research candidate means the place is real and the need is documented — not that you can book, and not that anyone has agreed to host us.
