Our OBJECTS - Integrated project Trebbia, co-financed by the U.E. with LIFE Natura funds and facing to realize some interventions of exemplary nature in three SCI of the average (middle) Val Trebbia (Piacenza,Italy). Particularly a passage for fishes has been realized, a damp biotopo for the amphibians and various interventions of bioengineering and of forest improvement.

The general objective of enhancement and conservation of many habitats and species of Community importance characterizing the S.A.C.s i SACs:

and considered as specific objects of the proposed interventions, consists of some more detailed objectives:

- To revitalize the river in all the stretch between Bobbio and Perino, remove the cement and renaturalize its banks, restore its longitudinal continuity, differentiate its hydro biologic conditions and fix the landslide in the river bed, in order to favour the staying, the reproduction and the passage of fish, which are among the species listed in the annex II of the CEE Directive 92/43, as LEUCISCUS SOUFFIA (STROEMLING), CHONDROSTOMA GENEI (SOUTH EUROPEAN NASE), BARBUS PLEBEJUS (BARBEL), BARBUS MERIDIONALIS (BARBEL), COBITIS TENIA (ITALIAN LOACH), PADAGOBIUS MARTENSI (GOBY) e GOBIO GOBIO (GUDGEON).
Meanwhile it will possible to invert the erosion course which reduces the diffusion of habitats of Community importance as 3270 - CHENOPODIETUM RUBRI OF THE SUBMONTANE RIVERS e 3240 ALPINE RIVERS AND THEIR RIVERAIN WOODY VEGETATION OF SALIX ELEAGNOS .
- To improve the quality of the water, the continuity of arboreal mantel near the river and its food offer, thus favouring the staying of ornitiche (bird) species listed in annex I of CEE Directive 79/409 CICONIA CICONIA (STORKE) , ALCEDO ATTHIS (KINGFISHER) , NYCTICORAX NYCTICORAX (NYCTICORAX), EGRETTA GARZETTA (EGRET) , CIRCUS PYGARGUS (MONTAGU'S HARRIER), MILVUS MIGRANS (KITE) , MILVUS MILVUS (KITE) , the diffusion of amphibian species of annex IV of CEE Directive 92/43 DALMATIAN FROG and the extension of habitats of conservation interest 29A0 G ALLERY FORESTS OF SALIX ALBA AND POPULUS ALBA.
- To spread "multifunctional models" of forest management for sinanthropus origin pine groves now close to ripeness, in order to protect and conserve the nesting habitats of PERNIS APIVORUS (HONEY BUZZARD) and CIRCAETUS GALLICUS (SHORT-TOED EAGLE) and to paved the way towards the diffusion of habitats of Community importance (5130 FORMATIONS OF JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS ON BARREN LANDS OR CALCAREOUS MEADOWS) and of species of conservation interest as Eliomys quercinus (OAK) and ELAPHE LONGISSIMA (COLUBER).
- To prevent the agricultural activity on mountain and hill territories from being abandoned, conserving and enhancing ecosystems which are important for diversity and quantity of animal species, in particular ornitiche (PERDIX PERDIX (PARTRIDGE), CIRCUS PYGARGUS (MONTAGU'S HARRIER), LULLULA ARBOREA (WOODLARK), ANTHUS CAMPESTRIS (MEADOW PIPIT), LANIUS COLLURIO (SHRIKE), EMBERIZA HORTULANA (ORTOLAN).
- To promote education and general information about the interventions and the habitats of Community interest, in order to widespread a way of acting and dealing with the environment with a greater awarnes of its values and with more respect for its needs and weaknesses, with a "sustainable development" strategy.
