ISPRA documentary "The House of Sand"
May 30, 2024

Do you know the Kentish Plover? Do you know that you might encounter it on the beach this summer? Unfortunately, it is currently among the most threatened coastal nesting species. Most breeding populations in Europe are declining, sometimes dramatically as in Italy, due to disturbance from human activities, predation by invasive species, and habitat loss and degradation. The documentary "The House of Sand" describes the monitoring and scientific research activities carried out by ISPRA in collaboration with local ringers, the local associations of the National Committee for the Conservation of the Kentish Plover and the General Command of the Carabinieri.

The conference entitled "Dancalia: the contribution of Italian geologists in the exploration of the Afar" will be held in Rome on 7 June. During the day there will be an in-depth analysis of the role played by the Italian scientific community in the exploration of the Danakil region (East Africa). In fact, there are many examples of geologists, explorers and scientists who, from the 19th century to the present day, have traveled the length and breadth of the Afar depression, a desolate region but very rich in geosites: from the Erta Ale volcano to the area of Dallol and the Salt Plain, from the geothermal springs of Alalobed to the Awash valley with the various fossil finds.
