Creata nel 1981 nel territorio dei comuni di Serre e Campagna su un'estensione di 300 ettari l'Oasi è gestita dal WWF in convenzione con il Consorzio di bonifica Destra Sele.
Nella piana alluvionale formata dal fiume Sele, tra i Monti Alburni i Picentini, una diga ha creato un invaso circondato da bosco igrofilo presente anche lungo il fiume. Nell'Oasi sono compresi il fiume, l'invaso artificiale con la zona palustre, il canneto ed il bosco.
Intorno alla zona umida prevalgono la macchia mediterranea e i boschi cedui, nonché prati e campi coltivati.
Le acque del lago ospitano la lontra, divenuta simbolo dell'Oasi. Altri mammiferi come la puzzola, la donnola, il tasso, il cinghiale abitano il bosco.
In inverno sono presenti migliaia di uccelli acquatici come l'airone cinerino, il cormorano e diverse anatre tuffatrici, in primavera l'airone rosso, il nibbio bruno; le isolette di fango che emergono all'abbassarsi dell'acqua attraggono un quantità di uccelli limicoli.
Abbondante è anche la fauna ittica.
Founded in 1981 in the municipalities of Serre and Campagna on the extension of 300 hectares Oasis is run by the WWF in agreement with the Consortium for remediation Right Sele.
In the alluvial plain formed by the river Sele, between the mountains of the Alburni Picentini a dam created a reservoir surrounded by hydric wood along the river also. Oasis includes the river, flooded with artificial marshland, the reeds and woods.
Around the wetland prevail Mediterranean scrub and coppices and meadows and cultivated fields.
The waters of the lake are home to otters, who became a symbol of the oasis. Other mammals such as skunks, weasels, badgers, wild boars inhabit the forest.
In winter there are thousands of water birds such as herons, cormorants and other diving ducks, in spring, the purple heron, the black kite, the islets of mud emerging gradual lowering of the water attract a number of shorebirds .
Is also abundant fish fauna.

Wiscasset, Waterville and Farmington at Top-of-the-Mountain, Maine. This is the current end of track.
Business practices process junk.
1) You see the globe, mouse-over and it rumbles. OH MY GOD IT MUST BE IN TROUBLE! You want to help it. What can you do? It's just the internet.
Better just click it and hope for the best.
2) Earth liked that, it comes closer. Everything else disappears.
It's just you two, this is romantic.
3) HELP drops down, along with a little two line subhead about how animals are in trouble & junk. Mouse over a portion of the earth (africa for the gorilla, ocean for the turtle, arctic for the polar bear) and you hear their respective noises. stay moused-over and they peak out a little bit (as shown). Click to go on.
& of course, the WWF panda is there, if you wanna get out of all this junk just click him.
It is a migratory insectivorous species breeding in mixed coniferous forest with undergrowth in northern Asia and northeastern Europe, from Finland east across Siberia to Kamchatka and south to Japan. It winters mainly in southeastern Asia, in the Indian Subcontinent, the Himalayas, Taiwan, and northern Indochina. The breeding range is slowly expanding westwards through Finland (where up to 500 pairs now breed), and it is a rare but increasing vagrant to western Europe, mainly to Great Britain There have also been a few records in westernmost North America, mostly in western Alaska.

Island Of Madagascar
Off The East Coast Of Africa
Palmarium Reserve
Uroplatus fimbriatus (giant leaf-tailed gecko) is a gecko endemic to Madagascar. It is found in eastern Madagascar and on the islands Nosy Bohara and Nosy Mangabe. These geckos live in tropical rain forests. They reach a total length of 330 mm.
It is a large nocturnal gecko. Because the eyes are extremely sensitive to light, 350 times more sensitive than the human eye, the species is able to see in colors even at night. By day it plasters itself to a small tree trunk and rests head down. If disturbed it will raise its tail and head, open its mouth and scream.
Habitat destruction and deforestation in Madagascar is the primary threat to this animal's future as well as collection for the pet trade. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) lists all of the Uroplatus species on their "Top ten most wanted species list" of animals threatened by illegal wildlife trade, because of it "being captured and sold at alarming rates for the international pet trade". It is a CITES Appendix 2 protected animal. However, the International Union for Conservation of Nature considers the commercial export as likely sustainable.
I took this shot in one of the rooms at work. I don't know if the tin in the background was intentional or not but either way it struck me as being beautiful and inspiring ☺
An all-red mini with rally lights and two occupants wearing blue? It must be Charlie Croker off to do a job in Italy...
This 1970 Mini was seen in Lincoln on 11.11.22
I know its' sad to write about such an emerging issue on poluting the nature therefore I would restrict myself with a hope and pray that we keep trying to preserve the nature to its purest and save the wildlife from its' cage.

The Sacred Himalayan Landscape is part of the initiation of the World Wildlife Federation (WWF) that 'taps into the spiritual beliefs and conservation ethics of local communities to restore essential habitats and protect endangered species'. WWF has cooperated with the three governments of Nepal, India and Bhutan to preserve the fragile 'complex mosaic of biodiversity' and 'achieve conservation while creating sustainable livelihoods in the Sacred Himalayan Landscape'.
Sandakphu / Sandakfu (3636 m; 11929 ft) is the highest peak in the state of West Bengal, India. It is situated at the edge of the Singalila National Park in Darjeeling district on the West Bengal-Nepal border, and is the highest point of the Singalila Ridge.
The trek along the Singalila Ridge to Sandakphu and Phalut is one of the most popular ones in the Eastern Himalayas due to the grand vistas of the Kangchenjunga range and the Everest range which can be seen from the ridge, and also for the seasonal wildflower blooms, red panda populations and birding.
