A place of biodiversity, research, and community.
Agricultural Areas and Transition Zones
Beyond the coastal areas, the landscape opens up to the citrus groves of the Rosarno Plain.
Amid cultivated fields and wild vegetation lies a transition zone, home to numerous animal species.
Here, nature and human activity coexist, maintaining a delicate balance that connects the river to the sea.
Here, life springs from the sand.
Pioneer species such as the sea rocket and other halophytes are the first to appear, anchoring the sand with their roots.
Thanks to them, the wind does not erode but shapes the landscape; this is how the dunes that protect the coastline are formed.
Where water meets land, reed beds, rushes, and willows grow, providing a refuge for migratory birds and amphibians.
These plants purify the water, stabilize the banks, and create essential habitats for wildlife.
Silently, they work to maintain the health of the entire ecosystem.
