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.

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.

Justification of Red List category
This species is listed as Critically Endangered because its population has undergone a very rapid reduction, for reasons that are poorly understood but are likely to be at least partly due to hunting along the migration flyway; this decline is projected to continue and increase in the future. Fieldwork in Kazakhstan (and counts in Turkey and the Middle East) has shown the population to be substantially larger than previously feared, but recent demographic studies have found low adult survival, possibly largely driven by hunting pressure along the migration routes and wintering grounds.

BirdLife International, RSPB (BirdLife in the UK) and leading optics manufacturer Swarovski Optik have just launched a remarkable new interactive website The Amazing Journey which charts the migration of one of the world’s most threatened birds - Sociable Lapwing. The new website enables you to experience the birds' migration online and witness new discoveries as they happen. It also provides support to a large team of international scientists who are trying to prevent the species from becoming extinct. Following extensive research, nine Sociable Lapwings have been carefully fitted with tiny, state-of-the-art satellite transmitters, which will track their hazardous 5,000+ km journey from their breeding grounds in Kazakhstan to their non breeding areas in tropical Africa and other, as yet undiscovered, destinations. The Amazing Journey follows the adventures of Erzhan, Dinara, Svetlana and six other intrepid satellite-tagged lapwings as they fly south for the winter - dodging hunters with guns and falcons and the myriad other unknown threats that await them. Andreas Pittl – Head of the Nature Division at Swarovski said, “This is a hugely important and fascinating project which Swarovski Optik is proud to champion. Wildlife is threatened with extinction for many reasons so finding ways to help such a beautiful and inspiring creature as the Social Lapwing is an important conservation effort we are keen to support. We want to bring people and nature together so they can continue to enjoy brilliant, close-up views of birds like these for years to come.” Designed by online marketing experts Digital Spring, The Amazing Journey uses satellite data fed through Google map technology to keep pace with the birds. A mixture of clever, regularly updated maps and video and photo blog reports from the field will follow their progress. Relatively little is still known about the routes Sociable Lapwings take, so tracking them will provide vital information, enabling BirdLife scientists to monitor and protect the birds and unlock the mystery of their migration. Now, for the first time, those interested in birds, wildlife and conservation can sit alongside scientists, and learn about these extraordinary birds, their migration habits and their conservation. Dr. Paul Donald, the project’s Principal Conservation Scientist at RSPB said, “We are using the world’s smallest and latest satellite transmitter – weighing just 5 grams – to record this amazing journey. By engaging with people around the world and inviting them to see this fascinating migration happening live online we believe we can inspire them to play their part too.” As the Sociable Lapwings progress along a lengthy route through various countries they need to stop every now and again to ‘refuel’ along the way. As they do so they form big feeding flocks (which is how they get their name). Whenever they touch down, precise details of their location are picked up by satellites orbiting high overhead and sent to RSPB scientists. These locations are then passed on to conservation project partners in each of the countries the birds travel through. With detailed coordinates they can quickly locate the flocks of birds, wherever they’ve touched down and take action if they are threatened in any way. The Amazing Journey website will provide regular reports from these scientists in the field keeping us up to date with all the latest news on the birds’ progress. Jim Lawrence, Preventing Extinction Programme Manager at BirdLife International said, “Protecting migratory species on the brink of extinction like Sociable Lapwings can’t be done without the considerable support of BirdLife Species Champions like Swarovski and RSPB. The Amazing Journey website is a new window on our world where you can see BirdLife International Partners around the globe delivering co-ordinated international conservation solutions.” Main photo credit Maxim Koshkin - Conservation Project Leader ACBK.

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 ☺

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.
