The Biviere di Gela Nature Reserve, located in the municipality of Gela, Sicily, was established in 1997. Historically mentioned in Pliny the Elder's "Naturalis Historia," it was a brackish marshland transformed into a freshwater lake in the 17th century. It is a wetland of international importance and an important stopover for migratory birds, with over 200 avifauna species. The reserve is home to endemic flora and has a visitor center, trails, and observation huts.
