Collina Po Biosphere Reserve

UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, inscribed 2016, in Italy. The Collina Po Biosphere Reserve is in the Piedmont region of northern Italy and covers the Turin stretch of the River Po with its main tributaries and the Collina Torinese hillside. The River Po is the main reservoir of biodiversity in the Turin plain, due in part to the numerous wetlands along its course. Its physical and geological characteristics have led to the formation of many gravelly shores, oxbows and riparian woods that host a variety of species.
