Sette Fratelli Regional Park

The regional park of Sette Fratelli , Monte Genis or "nine meerkats" (su cungiau regional de Is Setti Fradis - Monti Genis in Sardinian), with its 58.846 hectares of extension, is one of the largest parks in Sardinia.

Almost all the mountains in the park do not reach 1000 meters in height.
The only mountains that exceed this altitude are Mount Serpeddì, a sharp mountain that dominates the lower Campidano and the Gulf of Angels, which reaches 1069 meters in height, and Punta Sa Ceraxa one of the Seven Brothers, which reaches 1016 meters.

Several streams flow through the park which then give rise to some medium-sized watercourses with a greater flow rate, such as the Rio Su Pau which flows into the Quartu Sant'Elena area in the Flumini area.

The mountains are covered for the most part by Mediterranean scrub, consisting mainly of holm oak, cork oak, mastic tree, strawberry tree, viburnum.

These mountains are the natural habitat of the Sardinian deer (Cervus elaphus corsicanus), a subspecies of the European deer, which is present here in large numbers, thanks to the targeted actions for its protection and conservation carried out by the Sardinian Forest Authority.

At the 2007 census there were about 2140 specimens.

The fallow deer, which is a food competitor of the deer, lives in special fenced areas. Other mammals present are the wild boar, the wild cat, the marten.

The mouflon, reintroduced in 1987 on Monte Genis, is increasing in number.
Five pairs of golden eagles also live in the park

Inside the park there are well-preserved remains of Nuraghe (Bacu Malu, Nuraghe Monte Arbu, Nuraghe Sa Fraigada), Tombe dei Giganti (Is Concias) and waterfalls
