House in the sand
The documentary explores the difficult challenges that the Kentish Plover, a coastal shorebird, faces to survive along the Adriatic coast, facing natural threats and human pressures such as tourism and habitat destruction, in an exciting journey through dunes and waves. Unfortunately, the species is in a poor conservation status in Italy, mainly due to the degradation and reduction of its optimal habitat. The documentary invites us to reflect on the importance of protecting coastal biodiversity and how small gestures can make a big difference in preserving these delicate creatures. A story that reminds us of the fragility of nature's beauties and the importance of our commitment to preserving them.
