Danilo Re is a park warden from the Province of Cuneo (Piedmont, Italy) who met his death in the line of duty in 1995.
For many years now, the annual Danilo Re Meet has provided a major opportunity for all those working in Alpine Protected Areas to get acquainted with one another, in particular those in the field, carrying out surveillance, facilitation and fact-finding missions.
The Meet comprises a sports competition (known as “The Danilo Re Trophy”), a theme-based seminar and a range of other activities for all participants to enjoy together.
It symbolises the friendship, efforts and shared objectives of all communities accommodating Alpine Protected Areas. More than just a sporting event, the Meet is an occasion for international promotion of the Alpine territory, highlighting logistics and sports alongside tourism and hospitality aspects.
