When nature knows no borders – space for migratory birds in Piedmont

When nature knows no borders – space for migratory birds in Piedmont

We protect valuable stopover sites along one of Europe's most important routes.

Before natural forest disappears

Before natural forest disappears

Due to intensified land use, loss of areas, and forest fires, many traditional resting places for migratory birds have been lost in Southern Europe. The Valle Oscura and Valle delle Rocche were potentially such areas: ecologically valuable but threatened. Without targeted protection, the natural forest would have continued to decline.

We permanently protect natural forest in Piedmont – and with it a lifeline for migratory birds.

Protecting nature together – across borders

For many years, we have been working hand in hand with Canale Ecologia and the municipality of Sersheim to protect endangered habitats in Piedmont. Through this long-standing partnership, we were also able to enable the purchase of natural forest areas in the Valle Oscura. International cooperation here becomes a driving force for genuine migratory bird protection and climate forest.

Nature knows no borders. NatureLife helped save a natural paradise in my home region, and migratory birds from Central Europe benefit from it too.
