The return of the Italian grey partridge
May 04, 2023 from 09:00 AM to 01:00 PM
On 4 May in the Conference Room of the Museum of Zoology in Rome, ISPRA will present the first Workshop of the LIFE Perdix project. The project is co-financed by the European Union and has as its main objective the recovery and reintroduction into the wild of the Italian partridge (Perdix perdix italica Hilheimer, 1917), today considered formally extinct in the wild. Geographically, the chosen reintroduction area is the SPA IT4060008 "Valle del Mezzano", in the province of Ferrara. The project has a duration of 6 years and sees ISPRA as coordinator partner, and the collaboration of the Forestry, Environmental and Agri-Food Unit Command, the Italian Hunting Federation, the Fédération Nationale des Chasseurs, Legambiente and the Emilia-Romagna Po Delta Regional Park and the National body for Italian Cinofilia which supports the project as a co-financer. The recovery of the Italian Partridge will take place thanks to the genetic selection activity carried out by ISPRA on a stock of Apennine origin, comparing it with historical museum samples, prior to the introduction of individuals from other countries for restocking purposes.

— Napoli, Stazione marittima,
As part of the Green Med Symposium, ISPRA presents a new publication which, thanks to maps, graphs and tables, will allow you to visualize the geographical distribution of the main environmental information. Five thematic sections - geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, atmosphere and anthroposphere - to raise awareness of future challenges and contribute to the achievement of sustainable development goals, thanks to accurate and up-to-date scientific information. The aim is to provide scientific information on soil, water, biodiversity, air, climate, waste, energy and the environmental impacts of human activities and, at the same time, to help raise awareness of environmental challenges. The Atlas of environmental data integrates the EcoAtlante , the portal developed by ISPRA which offers a series of interactive cartographic paths useful for exploring the environmental data collected and cataloged in the National Environmental Information System, in line with the database of the Yearbook of environmental data , Yearbook of environmental data, which in line with the main national and international inter-thematic core sets, makes available over 300 statistical indicators on the state of the environment in Italy.

Development of tools derived from Copernicus products for monitoring bathing water and shellfish farming and interaction with stakeholders
May 04, 2023 from 11:00 AM to 04:00 PM
Natural resources in marine-coastal areas are often exploited to support human activities. To optimize the use of resources and manage them in a sustainable manner, careful monitoring of the parameters of the marine environment is necessary. This FPCUP action has as its object the development of integrated monitoring products to support bathing and shellfish farming activities which can be negatively influenced by anthropic factors, such as spills into the sea with bacterial contamination of the environment (e.g. discharges from treatment plants urban waste water, collection of run-off water on agricultural or pasture land) and consequent risks for human health and the environment.
