The slopes of Monte Monega were deforested during past centuries in order to increase pasture land. The highest part of the mountain is still used as a grazing area for local cattle, and maintains a good amount of biodiversity.[5]
Access to the summit
The summit of Monte Monega can be easily reached on foot starting from Colle del Garezzo (NW) or from Passo della Teglia[6] (SW). The mountain in winter is a well known snowshoes hike.[7]
Conservation
The eastern side of the mountain since 2007 is included in the Parco naturale regionale delle Alpi Liguri.[8]
