Festival

"Mersi" is the name of bird watching activities that are commonly scheduled by BIONIC (Biology UNY Ornithology Club). The word “Mersi” represents an acronym of the Javanese word “Mersani Peksi”, which means to watch birds. Activity "Mersi" has taken place for 3 years running, but in this year (2008), it is carried out as an exhibition or expo event to touch broader scope of people.

For this purpose we aim to contact Georgian schools (through the Ministry of Education) and organize activities such as children's art exhibitions and concerts.

"Día Mundial de las Aves Migratorias"
Universidad del Magdalena - Mayo 6-7 2010

En referencia a la celebración del día mundial de las aves migratorias tendremos una feria, para brindar información y generar espacios de reflexión sobre las conservación de las aves y sus hábitats, tendremos una visita guiada a la reserva natural de bosque seco y un ciclo de conferencias con ornitólogos especializados en el tema.

In line with this year’s World Migratory Bird Day, we have planned a fair in order to provide information and increase awareness on the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats.

At least 45 teachers and youth from St.Petersburg will visit farmlands in Olonets region during the time of geese spring migration stop-over to look at the outstanding natural beauty of this site.

The spring aggregations of geese and other migrating waterfowl species on the Olonets fields are the largest in Europe. The reasons for this are the rich forage that vast farmland offers, and availability of overnight shelter on Ladoga Lake and nearby wetlands.
