The return of the otter (Lutra lutra) in Veneto – A story of local extinction, ecology of the species, the return, threats, ongoing research, and prospects<\/b><\/p>\n
After decades of absence of the species from the regional territory, in 2022, evidence of the otter’s return to Veneto, specifically in Comelico, was found. Following that report, targeted investigations were organized that allowed for the verification and characterization of the species’ expansion in the province of Belluno.<\/p>\n
During the evening, the history of this local extinction and the causes behind it will be outlined, and the species will be described, including its ecology and environmental preferences. An in-depth look at ongoing research and the results achieved will highlight the current distribution framework. The investigation methods used by the \u201cotter group\u201d will be discussed, including the use of camera trapping, along with the presentation of some unpublished images and videos. Finally, the threats facing the species will be highlighted, as well as its future prospects for consolidation and expansion in the Belluno area and, more generally, in Veneto.<\/p>\n
