Different individuals belonging to at least 18 species of mammals have a home-range that totally or partially includes the Carvignone area. Deer, roe deer, foxes, badgers, martens, martens, bats, micro-rodents, squirrels etc. constantly or seasonally frequent the woods on the slope that goes from Berzo-Demo (on the orographic left of the Oglio river) up to the Musna plain and further towards Pizz Olda (2511 m ed.). Carvignone is located approximately in the center of this side at around 1000 meters above sea level and between the gorge of the Rio dei Valzelli and the Coppo valley. In this
However, the fauna in the Adamello Park area is particularly elusive and suspicious.
The presence of wild species is detected through constant monitoring

passages and the area surrounding the Observatory. The interventions envisaged by the project aim at implementation
of measures that can spontaneously encourage a "rapprochement" of
some mammals and make them, as far as possible, observable (also
indirectly) and photographable. Precisely for this purpose, in agreement with the Adamello Park and the Municipality of Cevo since the beginning of the project the first step was to expand the already existing Refuge and Environment Area by asking for the availability of the local hunting world. The Cevo Hunters' Association not only accepted this request but further extended the ZRA prohibition upwards. It will take some time for the fauna to perceive this changed situation. The atavistic and more than justified fear
of animals towards humans suggests that enjoyment
of the nature trail but even more so of the observatory
regulated since our presence is precisely the reason why species
wild ones hide from our sight. Our smell, our noise and
our clothing does not always suit the surrounding environment, causes that
mammals notice us even before we are aware of the
their presence. Our beloved dogs are another serious reason for
alarm and disturbance for roe deer, deer and foxes who see in the best friend
of man a "predator" without limits and methods. Unlike the
wolves that try to go "unnoticed" by their prey in order to get them
surprise and make hunting more effective, domestic dogs, for them
nature, do the exact opposite and it is no coincidence that they have been used for millennia for
hunting. This is why access with dogs of any kind is prohibited
size and breed. The small limitations we ask of Carvignone users
they are only functional to make your visit more interesting and engaging.
