The second volume of “The protagonists of nature” is on newsstands: the Giara horse
The new stage of the journey to discover the species that make the Island unique will be released on Saturday 19th AprilAfter the volume dedicated to flamingos, the second installment of the series “The protagonists of nature”, written and edited by Ilisso , is coming to newsstands with L'Unione Sarda .
This week's protagonist is an animal that embodies the wild and authentic spirit of Sardinia: the Giara horse .
Small but tenacious, it is among the last wild horses in Europe and lives free on the basaltic plateau of Giara, between Oristano and Southern Sardinia . Despite its small size, it is not a pony, but a true equine breed, considered among the oldest on the island.
Its history is intertwined with that of man: once used for threshing in the farmyards, it risked extinction with the advent of agricultural mechanization. Today, it represents a precious symbol of biodiversity, to be preserved and told.
The series “I personaggi della natura” is a weekly journey to discover the species that make Sardinia unique. Each volume can be purchased at a cost of 12.50 euros + the price of the newspaper.
Here is the list of upcoming volumes:
- Flamingo from April 12th
