The wet meadow
This wet meadow, located in a xerothermic area, i.e. a dry microclimate, is of great ecological and biological importance: a small jewel to be protected.
Important for Lepidoptera (butterflies), for birds, including the characteristic nightjar, a nocturnal insectivore, and for mammals. But it is of particular value for the numerous ponds present in it, a perfect example of non-anthropic wetlands in Piedmont. The ponds are used for the reproduction of 8 species of amphibians, 3 of which are covered by the Habitats Directive. Remarkable and rare is the simultaneous presence of the three Piedmontese newt species, the fascinating great crested newt, the lesser spotted newt and the colourful alpine water newt.
The reproductive presence of the Dalmatian frog and the tree frog is also important.
The aim of the Natura Invisibile association is to protect this biotope of great naturalistic value and increase its potential through the creation of numerous ponds and pools, transforming the meadow into one of the most important wetlands in the region. We invite users to also enjoy the extraordinary landscape power of the place, a perfect example of the fusion of Mediterranean and Alpine micro-habitats.
