An immersion between land and water, between spectacular photographs, engaging videos e natural vivariums: AMPHIBIA is a fascinating exhibition that explores the world of amphibians, unique creatures suspended between two environments. Curated by naturalists Emanuele Biggi e Francesco Tomasinelli, the exhibition guides the visitor through the discovery of frogs, toads, salamanders and caecilians, with an in-depth look at their life cycle, the metamorphosis, and strategies of survival in increasingly threatened habitats.
Thanks to a rich selection of large-format images, video-sound installations and vivariums recreating tropical environments, the exhibition tells the story of the lives of exotic species (unprotected and born in captivity), accompanying the public on a sensory and educational journey. Particular attention is paid to the conservationmore than 40% of amphibians are now threatened with extinction due to climate change, infectious diseases e habitat destruction. The European Project LIFE Insubricus, presented in the exhibition is a concrete example of environmental protection, focusing on the Italian dusky pelobate.
