The project is led by CEA ODV, a local volunteer group dedicated to protecting Geloi Wetland, a private conservation area located in the Special Protection Area of Gela Plain, a crucial migration route for Trans-Saharan birds such as Lesser kestrel and European roller, as well as nesting birds, such as the Crested lark.

The project will implement agroecological practices in 7 hectares of land and will engage local farmers through training and other events to promote sustainable agriculture, rewilding, land regeneration and fire prevention.

By tackling unsustainable practices like fire and stubble ploughing, stone removal, and the lack of perennial greenery, we aim to restore vital habitats and improve the environment for key bird species while strengthening agricultural resilience.
