Padule Orti-Bottagone, Regional nature reserve in Piombino, Italy.
The reserve spans 126 hectares along the Tuscany coast, featuring saline and freshwater marshes with extensive reed beds and waterlogged meadows.
Established in 1998, this protected area preserves remnants of the Val di Cornia wetlands that previously covered the region before land reclamation projects.
The reserve operates as a WWF Oasis, contributing to environmental education through guided tours and specialized programs for schools and researchers.
Visitors can access two nature trails from October to May on weekends and June to August on weekdays, with observation towers for bird watching.
The wetland hosts 231 bird species, including pink flamingos, and serves as a critical stopover point for migratory birds along Mediterranean routes.
