Preliminary results of technical and naturalistic observations made by Dr. Fabio Mao Valletta into the National Park Durmitor Montenegro during the period 12-17/11/ 2023: The aim of this research is to contribute to document the biodiversity of Durmitor National Park, focusing on fungi, plants, and animals. The findings are intended to provide a baseline for future research, inform conservation efforts. It also seeks to iden-tify human and environmental pressures on the park to provide practical conservation recommenda-tions. Conservation recommendations include enhancing research, monitoring human impact, and engaging local communities through educational workshops, citizen science projects, and eco-tourism initiatives. Future research directions emphasize longitudinal studies, advanced technology utilization, and interdisciplinary approaches. Overall, collaboration between researchers, local authorities, and the community is crucial for sustainable park management.
I declare: This is an indipendent research supported and subsidised from the author and the "Psilosoma Project". As it was not possible to verify the specificity of the taxons in situ with the appropriate scientific equipment and literature, this preliminary research needs further investigation in order to verify the accuracy of the data reported and the ID of the taxons reported into the checklist. The data contained in this indipendent research are therefore for information purposes, are freely usable for scientific and cultural purposes as well represent a research proposal for further investigations in cooperation with the author. Should the park or other entities be interested in a commercial use of these, please contact the author to establish the appropriate remuneration or research contract. A certificate was requested from the park regarding the research carried out and the corresponding permits required for the correct continuation of the work, such as the transport of some mycological samples for further study to realize in Italy.
