We will begin the reparations this winter and hopefully by next spring part of the facility will be operational. We will keep you informed about the progresses.<\/p> Thanks for the Enviornmental Partnership Foundation and the GEF Small Grants Program for their financial support and we are seeking other finances for the program.<\/p> See you next spring in Dumbravioara!<\/p> Details about the project<\/strong><\/p> In September 2004 we started a new project in the village of Dumbravioara. The main goal<\/p> of the project is to use the white stork Ciconia ciconia <\/em>as a symbol of the community and to make local people aware of the natural heritage they have. The initial project proposal was accepted and received financial assistance from the Environmental Partnership Foundation \u2013 Miercurea Ciuc. In 2005 we expanded our activities and we want to develop conservation plans for natural habitats and to involve local community in the protection and maintenance of natural grasslands. The new project is called \u201d Natural Grasslands: Habitat for White Stork and Resources for Communities\u201d and its funding was secured through the Global Environment Facility \u2013 Small Grants Program (GEF \u2013 SGP).<\/p> Objectives<\/strong><\/p> Activities<\/strong><\/p> In order to achieve our objectives we planned the following main activities:<\/p> Results<\/strong><\/p> In autumn 2004 we obtained land from the local townhall where to build the infrastructure of the visitor center and the rehabilitation facility. Meanwhile we agreed with the owners of the Teleki Castle that we will receive a part of the building so we will save lot of effort and expenses of building a totally new infrastructure. The final decision will be made during April. We organized a creation contest for the pupils of the local elementary school. The theme of the competition was the connection of the storks and village seen by children. 26 drawings were received and the selection of the best of them will take place in early April. Message boards were placed under each stork nest, informing the public about the life of the pair nesting above. An information guide for vets and persons involved in bird rescue and rehabilitation was produced. We received several donations from various institutions and scientist from abroad. All the material will be used to train qualified personnel and volunteers.<\/p> List of contributors<\/strong><\/p> Our conservation program and the community involvement effort in Dumbravioara is financed by the<\/p> Environmental Partnership Foundation<\/strong><\/a> and GEF Small Grants Program<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the Program \u201eDumbravioara \u2013 the village of Storks\u201d a very important step is the setting up of a \u201e Stork Center\u201d.
