Save the habitat of the "golden Alpine Salamander"

Save the habitat of the "golden Alpine Salamander"

Postby Mario Schweiger » Mon Oct 01, 2012 10:09 am

Destructive forestry works are starting in Italy at the Bosco del Dosso Forest, a site of major importance for the conservation of the critically endangered golden Alpine salamander - *Salamandra atra aurorae*. The municipality of Asiago and Gallio is now setting up plans for the exploitation of this forest. Intended logging will have dramatic consequences for the habitat of the salamanders, making the environment unsuitable.


For this reason, the Societas Europaea Herpetologica (SHE), the Societas Herpetologica Italica (SHI), the International Society for the Study and Conservation of the Amphibians (ISSCA) and the IUCN Amphibian Specialist Group (IUCN ASG) have placed an online petition for the conservation of the golden Alpine salamander and its habitat in the face of this dramatic threat.


Forestry activities impacting salamanders should be banned, and new, salamander-friendly plans should be developed in cooperation with expert herpetologists.

Italy's postal code system is called CAP (Codice di Avviamento Postale, literally: Postal Expedition Code).
