Biodiversity in Emilia Romagna
We start in the Bosco della Mescola Nature Reserve, a splendid protected forest area covering 1,000 hectares where you can explore on foot or by bike, with the chance to see deer and many types of birds, including great tits, blackcaps, nightingales, great spotted woodpeckers and green woodpeckers.
Next stop is the Comacchio wetlands, the centre of the Po Delta Regional Park, an enchanted realm of land and water which is home to hundreds of species of birds, including a colony of pink flamingoes which has lived here permanently on the salt pans for many years.
We now move on towards Ravenna and Punte Alberete, a striking oasis which is home to protected and rare species such as kingfishers, pygmy cormorants, red-crested pochard ducks and the glossy ibis.
Our last stop is the Adriatic Sea where we can find dolphins and turtles, animals which are as beautiful as they are fragile.
