Description
Already in the years 2012-2017, the Life-TEN project(action C10) had implemented demonstration actions to protect the remaining population of the crayfish(Austropotamobius pallipes).
The conservation of the species in the province is still at risk and urgent measures must be taken to counter its decline.
In the activity programme of the Brenta River Network of Reserves, an intervention is planned for the reintroduction of theA. pallipesand, at the same time, an intervention to contain invasive alien crayfish species. The intervention will be carried out with funding from the NatConnect2030 project.
The reintroduction project will be presented to the population on 21 August in Borgo Valsugana, at the Community headquarters.
Speakers will be:
Maria Cristina Bruno - researcher at the Mach Foundation
Enrico Galvan - President of the Brenta River Reserves Network
Marcello Scutari - Director of the Biodiversity and Natura 2000 Office PAT
The reintroduction plan is available for consultation on the Rete di Riserve Fiume Brenta website.
