Landscape characterized by the presence of numerous bends, river islands, large temporary marshes, vast areas of woodland and reed thickets. Wetland, the presence of a dam has led to the formation of a reservoir which attracts numerous aquatic birds.

Protected area
In 2009, a decree issued by the regional agriculture department established that the Ponte Barca district site is an oasis of protection and refuge for wild fauna, the latter made up of 70 different species of migratory aquatic birds, and recognized as being of interest community

The importance of the Paterno oasis is also due to the fact that it became a nesting place for the Sultan chicken, which returned to reproduce in the seventies, thanks to a project carried out in the Simeto oasis in collaboration with LIPU
