New folding brochure

We are very happy to present the new brochure of our project.

After a few years it seemed right to renew the graphic appearance of this product, also because thanks to your great interest in what we do, the first edition is over.

At the moment, unfortunately, we can only present it to you digitally, but we are sure that we will be able to meet very soon, deliver this new product that talks about what we do, the LIFE program and the area in which we operate, and maybe even embrace us.

The pdf of the brochure can be downloaded here.

23/10/2019 Networking with LIFE Tritó Montseny

In these days we were hosted by Xarxa de Parcs Naturals to visit the interventions carried out by LIFE Tritó Montseny and present our project.

It was a wonderful and extremely useful experience, which allowed us to share and learn about active conservation techniques towards extremely threatened amphibian species in Europe.

18/10/2019 Online the good practise database of LIFE GoProFor

The LIFE GoProFor analysis of LIFE projects and the good practices (GPs) extraction and description started on January 2019. To date, 100 good practises are already inserted in the database: 79 of them are derived from Italian LIFE projects, while 21 from projects developed in other European countries (15 GPs from French projects, 4 from Greece, 1 from Spain and 1 from Slovenia).

At the moment there are 3 good practices deriving from our LIFE Wetflyamphibia which are part of this important LIFE project that aims to "distil" the good forest management practices from LIFE projects selected at European level:

- Ex-situ reproduction protocol of the Apennine yellow-bellied toad (Bombina pachypus) and restocking of the species in suitable sites

- Egg translocation techniques for restocking of northern spectacled salamander (Salamandrina perspicillata)

- Techniques for creating wetlands for forest amphibians: Bombina pachypus and Triturus carnifex

Visit the database and discover all the good practices collected so far!

Networking

NETWORKING EVENT

The two LIFE projects TritoMontseny an Auenamphibien came to visit us on 29, 30 and 31 of August.

A wonderful experience of growth and sharing of experiences between projects aimed at the conservation of amphibians throughout Europe.

The LIFE TritoMontseny project takes place in Catalonia in the Parc Natural del Montseny and deals with a new rare species: the Montseny newt, an endemic species with very few known presence stations.

The LIFE Auenamphibien project deals with the conservation of different species of amhibiansin danger in central-northern Europe lowlands.

Visiting the interventions in the Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona and Campigna Nationala Park , together with the representatives of these two projects, we were able to observe with great joy the presence of individuals of Apennine yellow-bellied toad reintroduced by the project, a clear sign of the effectiveness of the actions we are carrying forward!
