VOICED: Italian island once a jail for Mafiosi, now heaven for donkeys

Asinara, once a prison island in Sardinia, is now a sanctuary for rare albino donkeys and unique flora. The island's history includes housing crime bosses and militants. Today, it faces challenges in maintaining the natural balance of its donkey population. Tourism is limited to preserve its untouched nature, with guided tours and restricted beach access. Conservation efforts include a clinic for injured turtles, highlighting the island's commitment to protecting rare species. The lack of development has allowed the preservation of unique plant species, making Asinara a haven for both animal and plant life.
