And by voting, you can help them win the Citizens’ Award. 🏆 Read more here and vote: birdlife.org/news/2024/04/11… 🐺In 2018, wolves returned to Belgium with a territory spanning around 300 km², including vital Natura 2000 sites. @Natuurpunt, BirdLife Flanders, formed the Wolf Fencing Team Belgium (WFTB) to aid over 1,080 livestock owners. None of the 260 reported damage cases involved fences meeting WFTB standards. This success inspired similar efforts in neighbouring regions, fostering harmony between humans and wolves. 🌊@BirdLifeSI is restoring the River Stržen after it was altered for agricultural purposes in the 20th century. Our Partner rerouted a 2.1 km stretch of the river back to its natural meandering flow, bringing back habitats of various species including birds like the elusive Great Bittern, with nests now thriving across an additional 215 hectares. 🦉Through their Nature Guardian project, @SEO_BirdLife and @spea_birdlife have trained over 1,500 law enforcement agents and created tools to catch and report environmental crimes in Spain and Portugal. This resulted in a reduction of wildlife deaths by 62% in Spain. The project also increased the detection of environmental crimes by over 100% in Spain and over 80 % increase in Portugal. This success has led to more countries learning from their methods, making Europe safer for nature Vote for your favourite project now! Voting is open until April 25th (23.59 CET). The winner will be awarded the Citizen’s Award on May 18th. #Natura2000Awards #RestoreNature #ConservationSuccess
