Description
The Natural Heritage Mission is dedicated to the protection, restoration and valorization of the natural environment. In this context, and in order to provide knowledge on nature restoration, it organizes a summer school with the title “Our Mediterranean ecosystems’ health is in danger.
Time to restore it!” between 18 and 20 June. Within the activities of the summer school, which will have a special focus on wetlands, a study visit for both students and instructors is organized at the Nature Reserve Škocjanski zatok.
The topic of wetlands is related to water resilience, as these ecosystems play a vital role in improving water quality (water purification and replenishment), and are a key part of the water cycle. They serve as a natural sponge against flooding and drought, protect our coastlines and help fight climate change.
The planned study visit aims to spread knowledge on wetlands importance and value, on the need for wetlands’ restoration, while showcasing a good practice of restoration in Škocjanski zatok.
The visit will be supported by a guided tour by DOPPS (Slovenian partner of BirdLife). Mrs Bojana Lipej, education coordinator of BirdLife Slovenia, will coordinate the study visit to the Reserve.
