Parco regionale di Gianola e del Monte di Scauri, Regional park in Province of Latina, Italy.
The Gianola and Monte di Scauri Regional Park is a protected area along the southernmost coast of Lazio, combining forested areas with coastal sections. The territory links hilly zones with Mediterranean plant communities and a seaside strip that together create diverse landscapes.
The protected area was established in 1987 to safeguard this coastal region. It was later integrated into a larger network of protected sites to preserve the natural values of the southern coast.
The park serves as a major birdwatching destination where visitors regularly spot migratory species and resident birds along the trails. This area has become known as a stopover point for birds traveling between Africa and northern and central Europe.
The park has several marked trails of varying difficulty that you can explore on foot. Information points along the paths help you understand the area better and get your bearings.
The area is known for its bird ringing programs, where scientists catch, mark, and release birds to track their migration routes. This research contributes to our understanding of international flight corridors.
