Nature conservation activities in the natural reserve Palude di Brivio
       Brivio, Lombardia          February 13 - February 26, 2011

Volunteer project: The natural reserve "Palude di Brivio" is located a few kilometres far from the small rural village of Campsirago and it is one of the most interesting environmental areas of the whole park "Adda Nord". The natural reserve has been included in the European list of Sites of Community Importance for the preservation and conservation of both fauna and flora. The area is threatened by a wild process of urbanisation that could disrupt the fragile equilibrium of the ecosystem.

The volunteers will be involved in cleaning footpaths and green areas in order to preserve and protect both the fauna and flora.

Language: English

Accommodation: The volunteers will be hosted in a guestroom provided with all facilities.

Location: The "Palude di Brivio" is a swamp, rich in biodiversity with many different species of animals and plants. It is a wet-area particularly important for birds’ migrations.
