Wetlands and Amphibians on TV

A photography project and the work of volunteers to save amphibians have attracted the interest of Rai - Radiotelevisione italiana. A small wetland in Friuli Venezia Giulia told through the images of photographer Diana Crestan and the project to build six toad pipelines to save toads and frogs, made possible thanks to the perseverance of volunteers and regional support. The project (duration 9 minutes) can be seen on Raiplay in the May 6 episode of Geo.
During the television programme, the Liquentia Project—an initiative that originated in Friuli Venezia Giulia—was presented in depth. The project was launched by a group of individuals committed to caring for nature and promoting its wellbeing, to protect the environment and foster harmonious coexistence between humans and the natural world.
The episode of Geo featured contributions from photographer Diana Crestan and forest scientist Dr Fabio Bidese, who discussed the project in detail. Diana Crestan presented her photographic work dedicated to the natural environments surrounding the springs of the Livenza River. Following her presentation, Dr Fabio Bidese illustrated an initiative involving the creation of specific "toad crossings"—passages designed to facilitate the seasonal migration of amphibians during their reproductive period. This intervention, implemented at the Palù di Livenza Biotope, seeks to protect local amphibian species and support biodiversity conservation efforts.
