On the International Bird Day, we are releasing new video from series from Romania, this time focused on the using of the satellite transmitters in the conservation of Dalmatian Pelicans (Pelecanus crispus). Meet Sebastian Bugariu, an ornithologist from the Romanian Ornithological Society (SOR) / BirdLife Romania who will explain how these transmitters help us and what insights we can gain from them.  

On Wednesday, March 19, the fifth and final volunteer action in Croatia was held at Kopački rit at the Kopačevo Visitors Center within the LIFE Danube Free Sky project. Students and teachers from the Faculty of Educational Sciences from Osijek participated in the workshop, during which we made nest boxes for the European roller (Coracias garrulus). European roller is one of the 12 target species in the project that once nested in Kopački rit, but due to the modernization of agricultural production, they no longer nest there.

The Danube River can be divided into 3 parts: upper, middle and lower Danube. The lower course of the Danube begins at the Iron Gate, which marks the boundary between Serbia and Romania, and extends all the way to the rivers's endpoint. The whole territory of the Danube in Bulgaria is thus part of the Lower Danube Basin. Learn more about the value of this magical area with Svilen Cheshmedzhiev, Project Manager from Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds, BirdLife Bulgaria who grew up there and devotes his professional life to the wildlife conservation.
