Società Selvatica is a small non-profit association that organizes nature connection activities. It is registered in Italy as part of RUNTS (Registry of Third Sector Organizations). It collaborates with other institutions, especially the University of Padua (www.unipd.it/en). With multiple departments of this highly prestigious partner – the TESAF Forestry department in particular – and other organizations, it has offered to the public 3 editions of “Cansiglio InVita” (www.cansiglioinvita.it), a nature connection festival in the renowned Cansiglio forest, located in the Veneto region of Italy (1h15 from Venice). The second edition of the festival was focused on the “One Health” vision, while the third edition, held in 2025, was focused on Planetary Health, with a scientific conference and 3 additional days of nature-based activities in the forest (Forest Bathing walks and other activities). Besides this, the association has partnered with an Italian tour operator called Ivy Tour to offer Forest Bathing and nature connection retreats.

The association, whose main goal is to promote nature connection and scientific dissemination, intends to organize more events in the future to raise awareness about Planetary Health. A training project related to Planetary Health is also in the works. Both the events and the training program could involve people from other PHA member organizations.
