Description
The main problem is the decreasing and unstable populations of plover birds in the section of the Małopolska Vistula Gorge, caused by the lack of breeding success. Feeding the population with young is very limited and insufficient to maintain stability due to large brood losses. The reasons are: overgrowth of habitats and breeding sites, floods and water supplies, mammalian predation, human activity, and the lack of comprehensive and systematic protection of charadriiformes in this area.
The method adopted for the project is comprehensive and assumes active protection, from laying eggs to releasing young animals. Caring for the maintenance of habitats in a proper condition so that the birds can nest, collect eggs and store them in incubators until the hatching of the young, give the hatching young parents, and when there is no such possibility, aviary breeding and releasing the young into the natural environment will eliminated or significantly reduced brood losses.
IThe goal of the project is improved condition of the environment in the Vistula ecosystems.
4 bird species that have improved. 6000 people in whom the level of awareness of bird protection has increased.
The target group of the project are residents, tourists, youth, children, teachers, tourist guides, owners of agritourism farms, animators, representatives of poviats, municipalities, employees of tourist offices and companies from project area. People who will take part in our activities will gain knowledge about bird protection. They will be aware that it is necessary to protect endangered species of birds.
