3. Final processing of research data and drafting of a complementary report regarding productivity
of forage resources indicating the domestic animal load sustainable by each Alpine pasture system
or the estimated load capacity for the Alpine pastures that are not used by farm livestock with
reference to hoofed mammals.
9-24-33-43. Creation of a reserve bird wildlife atlas
With the aim of meeting the objectives established by the long-term Wildlife Management Plan,
this project, supervised by Gianluca Rassati of Tolmezzo (Udine) and Robero Parodi of Basiliano
(Udine), included up-dating the check-list of bird species in the Parco Naturale Dolomiti Friulane,
the gathering of other historical and bibliographic data and information, and the monitoring of nesting
bird wildlife in one of the Reserve areas (continuation of the survey carried out in 1999 in the
Carnic sector of the Reserve and the start of the survey in the Tramontino sector of the Reserve).
Work carried out has contributed to understanding the actual size of the species living and nesting,
required in order to plan any conservation and management measures and with the prime goal of
editing an atlas of bird wildlife nesting in the Reserve within the next three years.
27-30-40. monitoring and ecology of the golden eagle (aquila chrysaetos) within the program
of the alpine network of protected areas
The golden eagle is the subject of particular attention across the entire Alpine Arc, with regard to
its status as a species sensitive to environmental changes and thus vulnerable. The Reserve has promoted
monitoring of the species since 1999, as part of its membership of and involvement in the
‘Alpine Network of Protected Areas’. This three-year project, which was launched in 2002 by Antonio
Borgo of Quinto Vicentino (Vicenza), has the aim of continuing monitoring of the eagle population
in the Reserve and of the breeding trend of surveyed couples, also in team cooperation with
the Forestry Corps Stations and the Provincia di Pordenone. The need to ensure long-term monitoring
was also emphasised by the Alpine Network of Protected Areas, in consideration of the fact
that the more long-term the monitoring process, the more abundant and significant the results, as
already illustrated by the three works that have already been presented at national symposiums between
2001 and 2003.
28-35-42. Conservation of the marmot population: monitoring and reintroduction in compatible
areas
This three-year project, which was set up in 2002 by Antonio Brogo of Quinto Vicentino to ensure
continuity and general moving forward of the activities which had been launched over the previous
years, has the aim of gaining knowledge and auditing the ‘wildlife biodiversity’ within the Reserve, as
well as identifying an opportunity for enhancing and promoting these wildlife assets. It was deemed
essential to carry out detailed monitoring of the recent release areas (the areas of Campoross and Senons)
to check on the survival of the animals and any settlement in surrounding areas. In particular,
the entire area of the Val di Suola, Val d’Inferno, Val di Brica valleys, Campoross, Lavinal and Monfalconi
di Forni and di Cimoliana was monitored.
34-39-51. management of the bird wildlife sanctuary and of educational activities of the andreis
visitors’ centre
This annual project set up by PierGiuliano Filippin of Erto (Pordenone) arose out of the need for
managing and maintaining the Bird Wildlife Sanctuary, as well as educational activities linked to
these. As a result, the food supply of the birds that are hosted by sanctuary and the correct upkeep of
the structures are ensured. The main tasks include taking in injured animals that are brought to the
veterinary facilities and providing assistance to the resident vet by helping supervise the rehabilitation
of animals that have regained health under the instructions of the vet.
