The Circeo forest as UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

The fauna of the Forest of the Circeo is still these days valuable and diverse, although, put side by side to earlier periods up to the 1920s, there are many animal genus that have extinct or are disappearing. The uniqueness and its great variety of forest vegetation of this environment led to its inclusion in 1977 in the net of the M.A.B UNESCO Programme for the Biosphere Reserves (Man and Biosphere) The most common and deserving representatives among mammals are typical of the Mediterranean lands. The Circeo forest covering the lowlands and the promontory, although limited in size, retain a thick undergrowth and large quantity of berries and fruits attracting many species of singing birds. Wild birds’ songs make the Circeo forest a peaceful and relaxing place to explore with the happy and lively tones of their melodies.
