Even during the summer of 2025, monitoring activities are underway to measure the impacts of tourist attendance on mountain flora and fauna.

The theme of mindful eating is becoming relevant in the animal world as well.

For this reason, institutions and scientific authorities are conducting studies and developing tools to protect animals and raise awareness among breeders and consumers. Grazing herbivores such as cattle, sheep, goats, and horses can encounter a series of even fatal pathologies simply by feeding on grass, or rather on weeds, which are harmful species that contain pharmacologically active substances.

The American pond turtles present in the Grande Lake of Avigliana are carriers of infectious diseases that can be transmitted to humans.
