Sofia Bonicalza is a conservation biologist and former Italian track champion. She is eclectic and eager to learn, and passionate about complex socio-ecological systems and regenerative strategies. A purposeful traveller, she explores cultures and their bonds with nature to rediscover and nurture our intrinsic sense of balance and well-being.

ConserMotion is a socio-ecological initiative that connects outdoor sports with conservation and cultural heritage to revitalise mountain communities. By combining trail runs, hikes and movement-based regenerative practices with citizen science (biodiversity and climate monitoring), the project reinvests resources into protecting ecosystems, strengthening community resilience, and promoting healthier, more sustainable living.

Through outdoor sport, ConserMotion seeks to reverse depopulation, preserve cultural identity, and foster a sustainable economy rooted in respect for nature.
