Description
Highly natural environment.
It includes forests, mountain grasslands, high-altitude rocky environments and various types of wetlands.
There are notable floristic rarities and endemisms in addition to the presence of vegetation aspects of exceptional value (e.g. the community of glacial springs on dolomitic detritus reaches here the extreme south-eastern limit of its alpine range).
As many as 35 habitats of Community interest have been surveyed in this area (out of 57 found in the entire province).
In the Vanoi and Val Campelle there are silver fir forests, which are of considerable interest, as the species is in decline in the Alps.
The site is of considerable interest for the presence and reproduction of endangered animal species, important glacial relicts, exclusive and/or typical of the Alps.
Among the fauna species present are the Chamois, Roe Deer, Marmot, Variable Hare, Fox, Marten, Ermine.
Among the birds, the wealth of galliformes is remarkable: Capercaillie, Gallo Forcello, Ptarmigan, Francolin, Rock Partridge. The golden eagle is nesting, the lammergeyer incidental. The presence of diurnal and nocturnal birds of prey is good.
Note the presence of species at the western edge of their range such as the three-toed woodpecker and the black salamander.
Presence of Annex II invertebrates, indicators of woods with a high degree of naturalness.
