Hippos are recognizable by their barrel-shaped torsos, enormous mouths and teeth, nearly hairless bodies, stubby legs and great size, adults average 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) and 1,300 kg (2,900 lb) for males and females respectively, making them the largest species of land mammal after the 3 species of elephants and the white and Indian rhinoceros. It can easily outrun a human, being capable of reaching 30 km/h (19 mph) over short distances. The hippopotamus is one of the most aggressive and unpredictable creatures in the world and, as such, ranks among the most dangerous animals in Africa. Despite their physical resemblance to pigs, their closest living relatives are whales and porpoises.
The landscape of areas around the Pulau Dua Nature Reserve are largely in the form of fish ponds belonging to local residents.

Variconi is a Special Protected Area (according with EU Birds Directive) and an international Ramsar Area, since its role for bird migration. The program includes:
- bird watching;
- bird ringing;
- workshop of photography.
Several organizations organized the events held on 11 may 2013: Ente Riserva Foce Volturno, Associazione Fotografi Naturalisti, Italiani, Istituto di Gestione della Fauna, Birding Campania (EBN network)
A photographic workshop about telling a story by means of photography was developed. Participants were been invited to describe why they think Variconi SPA is important for migrant birds, by using 5 photographs they will take on the field. Participants were been guided by members of the regional section of AFNI (Associazione Fotografi Naturalisti Italiani). The work will be published on the web site of the project “Biodiversita2020” (www.biodiversita2020.com).
