We begin to understand very soon that we cannot solve all problems. However, we still try to. After the designation of protected areas, we become custodians of several sites, which consumes a huge amount of our energy. We have been rescuing birds for a long time and the moment has arrived to get to the next level. Together with Vets4Wild, we are creating a nationwide network and build professional aviaries. With more or less success, we are influencing the economy branches with the biggest consequences on nature. For instance, we are trying to change the financial support system in the agricultural sector to make it friendlier with nature and small farmers by developing new agri-environment schemes. We strive to give a voice to nature in other policies, too: forest management and wildlife hunting. We carry out projects that aim at the conservation of several species: the Lesser Spotted Eagle, the Saker Falcon, the European Roller etc. We have a few memorable achievements over these years. Over 15 pairs of Saker Falcon (one of the nearly extinct nesting species) are now nesting in the western part of the country, using the artificial nests that we have previously installed. We also started some monitoring programmes by ourselves or together with the Romanian Ornithological Society. We initiate numerous censuses and learn more than in all the previous years combined about the bird populations (but also about other species, i.e. the European Ground Squirrel) and their distribution in Romania. Within our ecological education programme, we keep seminars for teachers all over the country and we publish many guidebooks. The Milvus Scholarship supports the research of students engaged in nature conservation.
