Since 2014, the
Fondazione Ethoikos has shared information on the
flora and fauna of the “La Selva” forest, near
Siena. The electronic archive, previously published
online on the Scratchpads platform—an
international project supported by the Natural
History Museum, ViBRANT, and e-Monocot
project—was discontinued in the summer of
2025. Our database is now hosted on GBIF - the
Global Biodiversity Information Facility.

| The Mostela boxes (Mos and Hoffmeester, 2020) are devices used to detect small mammal species that are difficult to be recorded using standard camera trapping. In August 2025, as part of a study on the distribution and ecology of the snow vole (Chionomys nivalis) in the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park, our Mostela boxes successfully detected the presence of weasels (Mustela nivalis), small mustelids potential predators of the snow vole. | |||
