Italiano: La Riserva naturale orientata Oasi Faunistica di Vendicari estesa per 1.500 ettari è una riserva naturale orientata che sorge nella provincia di Siracusa, precisamente tra Noto e Marzamemi, particolarmente importante per la presenza di pantani che fungono da luogo di sosta nella migrazione degli uccelli. La riserva di Vendicari si trova in una posizione strategica rispetto alla lunga rotta che porta verso le grandi zone umide della Tunisia, in quanto rappresenta per gli uccelli acquatici l’ultima sosta con le caratteristiche appropriate, prima del definitivo viaggio di circa 350km verso le coste africane.
