The Porto Conte Regional Natural Park in Sardinia has engaged in new operational collaborations and faced criticism regarding its management structure. In September 2026, the park entered an operational phase of a partnership with the National Alpine and Speleological Rescue Corps. This initiative focuses on joint activities in Alghero, including training, accident prevention in mountainous and cave environments, and environmental education programs for students. By October 2026, the park became the subject of a governance reform debate. The association Punta Giglio Libera – Ridiamo Vita al Parco APS issued a statement criticizing institutional discussions in Alghero, alleging that debates focus on political power and municipal representation rather than scientific expertise. The association specifically noted that the park has lacked a definitive management plan since 1999, a gap they claim distinguishes it from other regional parks in ~~Sardinia.~~ Sardinia, describing the situation as a ‘vulnerability in the Sardinian landscape.’ In a separate appeal, Stefano Campus has advocated for the park to be managed exclusively by the City of Alghero. Campus argues that because the protected territory falls under the municipality’s jurisdiction and contains vital economic resources, such as the Neptune and Green Caves, the 1999 decision to align the park’s assembly with the Alghero City Council should be maintained. He proposed a cooperation model involving the Sardinia Region, the University of Sassari, and the Forestas agency to balance local autonomy with institutional synergy.
