The forests and high hills are the habitat of some rare species, protected by regional laws since the seventies of the twentieth century. In open and rocky areas of the mountain Supramonte is still possible to observe the mouflon, a wild sheep, the male, agile climber despite its grandeur, has a large spiral horns pointing backward.
The peaks of the mountain Gennargentu host several raptors, including the golden eagle, the goshawk and the kite. The Sardinian deer finds residence in the cork oak and conifer woods of southern Sardinia. In the magnificent natural environment of the Giara of Gesturi, where the cork oak woods alternate with wide areas of pastureland dotted with Asphodelus Mediterranean brush and tall, made up of lentisk, olive, strawberry tree and Juniper, the wild horses graze, small and slender animals, with a brown coat and a long mane, perhaps direct descendents of the Arabic horses brought into Sardinia by the Punic civilization.
The hinterland of Sardinia offers a variety of reasons for a visit go to different altitudes, many towns have as the scenic backdrop of rugged mountains conformations representing the world's largest natural and cultural attractiveness. Indeed, the Sardinian territory is occupied by a large number of mountain ranges, often separated by plateaus and deep gorges.
Historically poor of ground water, Sardinia reveals unexpected treasures in the furthest corners of its territory, with sources of indescribable charm, collected among almost inaccessible gorges, such as that of Su Gologone, and which falls gush out onto the earth flooding the surrounding nature in a rainbow of colors.
In Sardinia, the water surfaces of lagoons and lakes paints landscapes very impressive due to the extraordinary richness of their ecosystems. Coastal lagoons, many protected by the Ramsar Convention, offer performances of great interest for those who are fond of bird watching. Moreover, the practice of fishing, which reflects the abundance of fish species in the waters of the lagoons, is a real attraction for those who prefer fish dishes, often served in fishermen's cooperatives. 
The sea of Sardinia, with its clean, turquoise and crystalline waters, is a popular destination without equal. Crossed by ancient Phoenician ships, now by yachts in marinas, the sea caresses the sand of the beaches or the attacks in the days of storm, it erodes the rocks, and then is dominated by high cliffs.
