Oasi Dynamo is a farm managing and protecting the biodiversity of the WWF oasis of Limestre. Founded in 2015, it aims to safeguard the territory through the development of activities related to sustainable hospitality, agriculture and scientific research. It helps to disseminate a culture that respects the environment and traditional agricultural practices. Oasy Dynamo is affiliated to WWF since 2006 and occupies the territory belonging to an old hunting reserve in the Pistoia Apennines, in the municipality of San Marcello Piteglio. It covers 1000 hectares on a predominantly wooded area, about 1100 meters above sea level with meadows and pastures dedicated to cattle and pig breeding. It has a scientific research center that allows students and researchers to study in depth themes inherent to the flora and fauna of the Apennines. A unique example in Italy of synergy between environmental conservation, social activism, research and sustainable management.
