Katrien Delille
Since the end of June she has been working at Milvus Group as a EVS-volunteer.( EVS stands for *European Voluntary Service *and is a programme of the European Commission to promote voluntary activities in foreign countries.) She is from Belgium and decided to come to Romania for one year to be a field assistant, to taste of Romanian nature and nature management and to upgrade her knowledge on species of birds and mammals. She studied Forest and Nature Conservation at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, but still has the feeling to lack practical knowledge.She feels that in Belgium or The Netherlands she will never experience a high adrenaline level while walking in nature: simply because there is no possibility to encounter bears or shepherd dogs.
