giusto ma è la maniera in cui vengono chiamate queste zone *in generale* sia nei testi "forestali", che nei quotidiani, che nelle pubblicità turistiche (hai visto i link contenuti nell'unico grande link google? :)

grazie anche a te! :)
ti faccio comunque notare che preparco/buffer zone è un concetto ben noto sia ai lettori angloamericani sia a livello internazionale. Come fai ad eliminarlo dal testo visto che ha un -importante- significato?

Questa volta ho scelto questa soluzione, perché mi sembra che esprima bene il fatto che si tratta della "fasce esterne" che CIRCONDANO il parco, oltre alla sua funzione. Nello stesso tempo, come dice philgoddard, ho deciso di eliminare il termine "preparco" dal testo tradotto. Grazie.

nature park

Explanation:
The Parco Nazionale d’Abruzzo Lazio e Molise is surrounded by a pre-parco which serves as a wildlife, flora and fauna reserve even if it lacks the statutory title of Parco Nazionale.

60.000 ettari di pre-parco, una zona cuscinetto che fra le sue funzioni ha quella di tutelare gli animali che spesso escono dai confini convenzionali del Parco stesso.
http://www.ecotur.org/parco_nazionale_abruzzo.htm

In anglophone countries there is a similar distinction between the statutory title of National Park and the more informal one of nature parks.

Salmonier Nature Park provides visitors with a unique opportunity to view Newfoundland and Labrador wildlife face to face. However, the mission of the park extends beyond wildlife as it is traditionally thought of and includes the plants, insect life and landscapes of our Province.

Notes to answerer

Asker: I wouldn't translate this "natural park", but the definition you provided is very usuful for me. So it's a sort of "buffer zone"... Many thanks.

not officially part of the regional park

Explanation:
I would do it this way. You could put leave out "regional" if it is clear from the context, or replace it with national park, if that is what you are using.

Asker: Diciamo che, specie se il testo è rivolto ad un pubblico normale, mettendo così il concetto sarebbe più chiaro. Me ne rendo conto che devo conoscere bene la definizione per rendere pienamente ciò che vogliono dire...
