First sentence: Fourteen years have passed since the National Centre for Forest Biodiversity “Bosco Fontana” organized the International Symposium “Dead Wood: a Key to Biodiversity” in Mantua. In these years the National Centre has maintained its original identity, continuing its dedicated work on saproxylic invertebrates, convinced of their vital importance for forest ecosystems. This adventure began at the end of the 1980s, when Martin Speight, author of the famous “Report” of the Council of Europe “Les invertébrés saproxyliques et leur protection”, visited the reserve Bosco Fontana. This report was highly influential in informing the public and also forest managers on the importance of dead wood.
