Piano Zucchi, Parco delle Madonie
Sicily
Piano Zucchi (1,480 m) in the Madonie Park is a flat forest plateau with free-grazing horses and beech forest. Wolf arrived in Sicily in 2023 (crossing the Strait of Messina) and was confirmed near the Madonie — Piano Zucchi is part of the likely territory. Golden eagle has 2 pairs in the park. The Sicilian fir (Abies nebrodensis) grows on the adjacent slopes — only 30 trees survive.
