This project concerns the organisation of all reserve wildlife management that comes under the single
annual and long-term plans, specifically co-ordination, supervision and checking of wildlife research
projects, the organisation and management of wildlife study and activity planning meetings
(relations with surveillance services, with the Regional Wildlife Institute and other organisations involved),
as well as the collection and registration of wildlife data, and specifically those concerning
population censuses. Directed since 1998 by Silvano Mattedi of Trento, wildlife management also
includes the controlled sampling plan, which identifies the taking of chamois sample animals directed
towards establishing the state of health of the species population within the Reserve.
2. Repopulation and monitoring of the alpine marmot within the reserve
This project concerns the “Repopulation and monitoring of the marmot in the reserve area” coming
under the umbrella program of “Wildlife intervention” financed with funds from Regional Law no.
11/1983. Supervised by Antonio Borgo of Quinto Vicentino, the project included research analysing
the status of the marmot colonies living in the Reserve and previous data, checking of the number of
animals available, capture and marking using coloured sprays, recovering and surveying of biometrical
data of captured marmots and registration of new data for animals and subsequent release in the
areas identified by the project (1998), captured in the ‘Buscada’ area (Erto and Casso) and released
in the vicinity of the ‘Flaiban-Pacherini’ refuge.
4. monitoring and organisation of the eagle and lammergeier network in the reserve area
This project, set up by Antonio Borgo of Quinto Vicentino, aimed at carrying out detailed monitoring
of golden eagle (Aquila crysaetos) couples in, or gravitating to, the area; activities included spot
investigation to check qualitative and quantitative presence within the Reserve and an environmental
parameter study to check the suitability of the nesting areas. This project was also the first time that
co-operation was set up with the Alpine Network of Protected Areas on the Eagle and Lammergeier
projects, as well as maintaining relations with the agencies and structures responsible for the ‘Lammergeier’
area projects.
6. Qualitative and quantitative monitoring of nesting birds in the reserve and ringing for scientific
purposes
This assignment conducted by Gianluca Rassati of Tolmezzo had the aim of updating the list of birds
within the Reserve and providing an analysis of the local atlas of nesting birds in an approximate
10,000-hectare sample area, with particular reference to a number of important species. During the
course of the project, spot surveys where conducted to check qualitative and quantitative presence of
the nesting birds, particular environments or ringing sites for scientific purposes in compliance with
the I.N.F.S. guidelines, and within the framework of the ‘Alps’ project, as well as a number of ringing
operations in compliance with the I.N.F.S. guidelines that took place during post-reproductive
migration.
