MME / BirdLife Hungary in partnership with the Romanian Transylvanian Carpathian Society Satu Mare have started a project entitled „Cooperation to establish a cross-border bird monitoring network and on-line database” in the frame of the „Hungary – Romania Cross-Border Co-operation Programme 2007-2013” coofinanced by the European Regional Development Found.
Opening Conference of the event have been organised on 18-19. February 2011. at Nyíregyháza. Civil or-ganizations and national authorities have been represented on the event. The participants had the opportu-nity to get information on the ongoing monitoring works along the project area and to get information about the result of the surveys and the problems encountered in different areas. The planned monitoring protocols have been discussed and the structure of the on-line database developed in the frame of the Project has been presented.
Satisfying to the invitation of the newly developed Tiszaközi Local Branch of the MME, we took a presentation of the Project entitled „Cooperation to establish a cross-border bird monitoring network and on-line database”. Our primary purpose was to demonstrate the primary objectives of the project, the residing opportunities and to give an idea to the present volunteers how they can join the monitoring works for the successful implementation of the project.
