Wild Italy: Top Predators

In the heart of the Mediterranean there is a special world where bears and eagles live free among the vestiges of a distant past. It is a veritable treasure trove of biodiver- sity that, from the Alps to the islands facing Africa, is home to riches of inestimable value, thousands of species of plants and animals including the continent’s fiercest predators: the heron, the cormorant, the osprey, the roller, the lesser kestrel, the black widow spider, the peregrine falcon or the herring gull. This is Italy: here, a wild heart still beats alongside the art and the history.
