The Reserve: A Natural and Community Heritage

The “Foce del Fiume Mesima” Regional Nature Reserve is located in Calabria, straddling the coastlines of Reggio and Vibo Valentia. It is a precious habitat that is home to migratory species, endemic flora, and landscapes of extraordinary beauty. Here, environmental conservation goes hand in hand with scientific research, education, and the involvement of local communities.

A Haven of Biodiversity

The “Foce del Fiume Mesima” Nature Reserve is a true sanctuary for wildlife and a strategic crossroads for migratory routes. It is home to countless bird species that find an irreplaceable stopover and nesting site here.

Life teems in every corner: amphibians and reptiles thrive within the brackish waters, while dense riparian vegetation offers shelter to small mammals. The flora is equally extraordinary, featuring pioneer plants that stabilize the dunes and marsh vegetation that shapes a unique, resilient landscape.

Every visit thus becomes a fully immersive experience—a sensory journey into the wild, beating heart of Mediterranean nature.
