Trees are sparse and low scrub is the predominant vegetation. – It’s part of the national parks system of Italy, in 2002 the island was converted to a wildlife and marine preserve. – In 1885 the island became a Lazaretto and an agricultural penal colony (till 1998). About 100 families of Sardinian farmers and Genoese fishermen who lived on Asinara were obliged to move to Sardinia, where they founded the village of Stintino. Asino dell’Asinara (Asinara Donkey) Origins: - Uncertain but oral records report the presence of white donkeys on the island since the end of XIX century. - the appearance of the white coat in more recent times is probably due to a random mutation that spread to all the population. Morphology: it is small and the size is similar to the Sardinian donkey; the most important difference is the white coat, that probably belongs to a form of incomplete albinism .

    Independent 'Self Guided' walking tour Wild Sardinia Hiking along the spectacular east coast of Sardinia Wild nature, ancient cultures & stunning beaches TRIP NOTES 2021 © Genius Loci Travel. All rights reserved. [email protected] | www.genius-loci.it ***GENIUS LOCI TRAVEL - The Real Spirit Of Italy*** Independent 'Self Guided' walking tour INTRODUCTION The island of Sardinia has long been known for its dazzling sandy beaches and clear crystalline sea, and is immensely popular as a summer retreat not only for the happy few, but also the more ordinary tourist. Only recently its many unspoilt natural and cultural treasures have gotten the right attention from nature lovers. It is still possible to wander its many spectacular trails, enjoying the peace and quiet of a true hiker’s paradise. Your trip will take you to the heartland of the wild Supramonte region along Sardinia’s east coast, without doubt the island’s most spectacular area for trekking. Here sheer limestone cliffs coloured by wildflowers and the fruits of strawberry trees drop down vertically into the blue Mediterranean Sea, where little sandy beaches open up on vertiginous gorges. Small cultivated valleys carry the fruits of man’s labour: above all olive groves and vineyards yielding splendid local wines. Wild animals such as wild boar, Sardinian wild sheep or mouflons, and many species of birds of prey, including eagles, roam the barren karst plateaus of the mountain ranges occasionally descending into the verdant valleys where lucky encounters with hikers are not uncommon. During the first days of your trip you will explore the heartland of the Supramonte of Oliena.

    Dear Everybody, this is an update, devoted to several (relevant) practical issues; a short final circular will be sent shortly before the Conference. Please note that updates will also be shown on the web site, even before these are communicated by the final circular. TRANSFERS 1) You have now communicated the details of your arrival (flight number and origin, scheduled landing, number of passengers) and required transfer service; you have received or will soon receive the scheme of our transfers (cost can vary depending on the use of taxis or minibuses). 2) Shortly before the conference we will communicate a telephone number at which you can contact the drivers in case of troubles; at the same time we will also give a telephone number at which one of the organizers will be available for the same. 3) If you have not required the transfer service, we assume you will take care of it by yourself, e.g. that you rent a car or move by public buses. In case you just forgot, you can see if there is some empty seat in one of our taxis or minibuses; we are sorry the general plan cannot be modified at this stage (but of course you can ask for an additional private taxi, also through the Hotel). 4) Transfer for departure (June 1) will be organized in the course of the conference; we have however noted your travel details. 5) It may be good to note how to access the schedule of public buses, either for those who will use these to reach Dorgali or for private local excursions (also by accompanying persons).

Luxury stores and restaurants, the Mecca of the Jet set, Porto Cervo is the most famous port of Costa Smeralda.

  • Pier Virgilio Arrigoni the Discovery of the Sardinian Flora
    Pier Virgilio Arrigoni The discovery of the Sardinian Flora (XVIII-XIX Centuries) Abstract Arrigoni, P. V.: The discovery of the Sardinian Flora (XVIII-XIX Centuries). — Bocconea 19: 7-31. 2006. — ISSN 1120-4060. The history of the floristic exploration of Sardinia mainly centres round the works of G.G. Moris, who in the first half of the XIX century described most of the floristic patrimony of the island. But it is important to know the steps he took in his census, the areas he explored, his publications, motivations and conditions under which he wrote the "Stirpium sardoarum elenchus" and the three volumes of "Flora sardoa", a work moreover which he left incomplete. Merit is due to Moris for bringing the attention of many collectors, florists and taxonomists to the Flora of the Island, individuals who in his foot-steps helped to complete and update the floristic inventory of the island. Research into the history of our knowledge of the Sardinian Flora relies heavily on the analysis of botanical publications, but many other sources (non- botanical texts, chronicles of the period, correspondence) also furnish important information. Finally, the names, dates and collection localities indicated on the specimens preserved in the most important herbaria were fundamental in reconstructing the itineraries of the sites Moris visited. All these sources allowed us to clarify several aspects of the expeditions, floristic col- lections and results of his studies. The "discovery phase" of Sardinian Flora can be considered over by the end of the XIX century with the publication of the "Compendium" by Barbey (1884-1885) and "Flora d'Italia" by Fiori & Paoletti (1896-1908).
