Other Site Characteristics

Vasta area montuosa degli Appennini Meridionali a cavallo tra Calabria e Basilicata molto importante per i rapaci. Il perimetro della ZPS corrisponde con quello del Parco Nazionale del Pollino che comprende tutte le zone più importanti per le specie per le quali è stata individuata la ZPS stessa.Territorio aspro con rupi calcaree di quota medio-alta con pascoli e zone spesso molto innevate. Sistema di valli boscate su calcare del piano montano e pascoli steppici e stagni perenni. Cime montuose con boschi mesofili e torrenti montani. Bacini idrografici ottimamente conservati. Lunghe valli fluviali incassate che si aprono a formare ampie aree alluvionali.

4.2 Quality and importance

Presenza di Pinus leucodermis. Zone dei valloni maturi e molto originali. Importanti zone di piante endemiche ed orchidee. Siti riproduttivi di Triturus carnifex e Bombina variegata. Aree ornitologiche di elevatissimo valore per la nidificazione di specie rapaci diurne e notturne. Presenza di nuclei di lupo e di capriolo appenninico. Ambienti fluviali ricchi di boschi ripari e foreste di macchia.
