The Sila National Park is one of the most important biosphere reserves that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Historically, the park is also known as the "Great Forest of Italy". It has nine biogenetic nature reserves. One of the most important is the reserve "Giganti della Sila" (Giants of the Sila) in Fallistro. Among other things, ancient black pines (Pinus nigra) grow here.
