Two species of flowers at risk
between the Garda and the mountains
The Gypsophila papillosa, known as the "bridal veil"
is one of the flora on Mount Baldo threatened
15/07/2010 A Garda is the unique Gypsophila papillosa , the "bridal veil" Marciaga below. There is provided a great golf course . In San Zeno, in the hamlet of bright, above the endemic luminarius Ranunculus, buttercup of Candles, a road was made. And in this period, the Baldo overlooking the lake, is the time of flowers, a billion colors, shapes and diverse, touching wild bouquet. Witnesses from all over the world and a unique mountain. A flowering that happens every year but always arouses wonder. In who can see the uniqueness. But meanwhile two species exclusive to the massive Baldo at risk of extinction, are in fact already entered the red list of plants with extinction. Mayors, County Superintendent and to environmental assets should know, because they are real and natural monuments. Filippo Prosser, Alessio Bertolli and Francesco Festi , Volume authors of the now famous "Illustrated Flora of Mount Baldo " explaining: "The area is within the Garda SIC (Site of Community ), as stated in ' Atlas sites in the Veneto region, published by the Region, which protect the dry meadows. Projects aimed at altering the locations of growth are subject to environmental impact assessment, with uncertain outcomes of approval. At least on paper. " Elsewhere, these problems of environmental conservation have been solved with the condition, detection of GPS stations, plants, the specific protection planning. And 'what you're trying to do even for the wild orchids of Veronese. The first emergency is of absolute importance in the hills of Garda (Mount Luppia) and Marciaga in areas of dry meadows and uncultivated barren. There grows, Gypsophila papillosa, only on ground moraine (shingle slopes with uneven turf), alone there. And the government is responsible for its survival. But how is it done? It is a herbaceous plant, woody at the base, about 50 cm high. By a strong root branching stems several elongated with numerous blue-green narrow leaves. Each brings a lot of small pink flowers with five petals. The first report dates back over a century ago, in 1902 the botanist Gregory Rigo unearthed in the village Fields, above Lake Garda, as early as 1904 his colleague Pietro Porta described it as a new species. "It's a kind of conservation is very important at European level", say the specialists, "the only priority Baldo listed at Annex II of the Habitats Directive 43/92/Cee. Endemism This point, also found on Villa Canossa in Valley Mills, on the rock and under Garda Costermano, has several factors of threat: fires, arid slopes of the feral as it is grown in full light. Again, the progressive urbanization, intensive farming, the future golf courses. It is now competent to give protection to a pearl of nature, a unique resource of territorio.Nella Candles beautiful valley, in San Zeno di Montagna but over the ridge south of the mountain, above the Caprinese grows instead, the only site on the Baldo, Ranunculus luminauris, only a ranking that includes only the Baldo, more than seventy varieties. It grows on soils of the humid forests and deep valleys, under the chestnut trees, which bloom bright yellow flowers in April with 5 petals. Some of them are not fully developed because the plant, delicate, more than 50 cm high, with lily leaves, whatever the number of 10, and also discovered by botanist Rigo Verona in 1904, does not reproduce sexually, and therefore did not need to attract pollinating insects. Sandro Pignatti, the patriarch of botany national (defined as 'the greatest genius Italian botanist) and editor of an unsurpassed 20 years ago, "the official Italian Flora' in three volumes, the Luminarius, who was named Buttercup of light, is similar to that of Ostiglia, now extinct . To be seriously with the work of excavation and agricultural silvopastorale already in place and with new ways of entrenchment in the woods and pastures for sovrastanti.Le locations of sites of growth to the region were provided by the Town Museum in the constitution a geo-referenced database for management purposes, although the buttercup of bright and out of the Sic. On paper, the bonds we already sarebbero.Un park, " the park," would rather the only, the last hope: 3262 hectares have already "park", owned by Veneto Agricoltura, Regione Veneto. Park's Baldo? The idea is discussed, sometimes opposed by the government on Mount Baldo, has a tortuous history in the game of acceptances and refusals. The project hits speculative interests of different scope: facilities, hotels, villages, housing estates. In Venice, the political forces and the Government of the Region, "Regional Park of Monte Baldo" awaits the start of the law "was written in the book section of Verona of the centenary of the Italian Alpine Club in 1977:" illusion "that the institution the park was in the pipeline. Then he fell to the Regional Council.
