The WILDLIFE & PHOTO CENTER in Monfragüe represents the first visitor center included in the INNATE Network (International Nature Estates Network), a world entirely dedicated to nature photographers and nature lovers. The project, on a global scale, aims to prove that with the right technical skills, business vision, deep knowledge and passion for the nature field and a special team it’s possible to create, develop and restore natural areas for nature tourism, able to sustain themselves, to produce positive economic impact in the local territories and to support concrete and efficient conservation actions.
