World Wetland Day at Molentargius Saline Regional Natural Park
Molentargius Saline Regional Natural Park
To raise awareness about the crucial role of wetlands on our planet, the Molentargius Saline Regional Natural Park in Cagliari, Italy, one of the seven Coevolvers Living Labs, organized a collaborative event for World Wetland Day, globally celebrated on the second of February. Wetlands represent some of the most productive environments in the world, characterized by extraordinary biological diversity.
The day was commemorated with the initiative "Walking along the Salt Roads", an immersive walk along the La Palma/Terramaini canals, historically significant waterways where salt was traditionally produced in the Molentargius salt pans, then transported to warehouses and exported.
Take a look at these photos capturing the essence of the event, where people from all over the Cagliari hinterland participated using various means: bicycles, walking, kayaks, and even dragon boats, reinforcing the concept LL aims to pursue: an "Open Molentargius to the World"!
The Coevolvers Cagliari team chose to participate on foot, joining a walking group that included our beloved furry friends 🐶️
