Donkey of Asinara

Giovannantonio Pilo is a guardian breeder from Sassari who cultivates with great dedication the safeguarding of three native equine breeds: the Asinara Donkey, the Sardinian Donkey, and the Giara Pony. His activity allows these animals, authentic symbols of Sardinian livestock biodiversity, to thrive in conditions that respect their natural needs. Giovannantonio's work is a significant contribution to the protection of genetically precious populations, preserving traditional breeding practices and knowledge.
