For 2025, the SOS Amphibians campaign organized by the Protected Areas of the Cottian Alps and the Municipality of Avigliana is enriched with additional initiatives. The aim of these actions is to protect populations of toads, frogs, and salamanders during a particularly delicate period like the breeding season and to raise awareness in the population about their importance in maintaining ecological balances in the Avigliana Lakes Natural Park.
In the Parks of the Cozie Alps, it is not allowed to capture, kill or harm any animal, not even the smallest or unknown ones. In this article, we want to focus on so-called cold-blooded animals, and in particular on amphibians that are more visible during the spring season as they migrate towards wetlands where they reproduce by laying eggs in water.In the Cozie Alps Parks, it is not allowed to capture, kill, or harm any animals, not even the smallest or unknown ones.

Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates, whose body temperature depends on the external environment. With the onset of cold weather, they hibernate: slowing down their metabolism and "falling asleep" waiting for spring.
The 2018 calendar of the Parks of the Cottian Alps is dedicated to the amphibians of Piedmont.
