Surveillance

According to collective imagination, the character of the Park Keeper is linked to long walks in the woods, to the silent observation of wildlife, to the traditional knowledge regarding the use of plants.
This "historical" idea should be broadened, if not revised, considering the competence and technological innovations that have transformed the Park Keeper into an eclectic specialist working to preserve protected areas.
Thinking about conservation in a modern and dynamic meaning, the Park Keepers deal with environmental education, wildlife management, repression of environmental crimes, fight against wood fires and any other environmental emergency. Moreover, they assist the economic operators of the protected area.
