New grant to KuzeyDoga Association
We are proud to announce that we started to support KuzeyDoga Association’s “Bird and wetland conservation, environmental education and increasing village-based ecotourism at Aras River Bird Research and Education Center, Yukari Ciyrikli village, Igdir” Project until June 2018 with 3.000 GBP.
The project involves “bird ringing”, a method of attaching an individually numbered, identificatory, lightweight and non-corrosive aluminum ring to the leg of a bird after capturing the bird in a mist-net made of a very light and safe material. This helps monitoring bird migration and changes in population size. A bird ring provides information on the country and the address of the ringing station, thus enabling to know where it came from in case they are recaptured dead or alive.
