The "Silva Lab One" laboratory has been established in the Cilento National Park, on the southern slopes of the Alburni Mountains. This project, a collaboration between the Municipality of Ottati and the Mediterranean Aerospace Company, uses satellite technology and drones to manage forests sustainably. The laboratory will operate on over 1,000 hectares of forest in Ottati, examining around 500 trees of different species, location, and age.
The goal is to assess the quantity and quality of sustainability services, such as carbon storage and biodiversity, and to evaluate the characteristics of wood for use in bio-building and energy production. The project also includes a fire prevention system using drones for 24-hour surveillance of high-risk areas.
