• Together For the Egyptian Vulture, Against Poisoned Baits

It's always a unique opportunity to meet people that are inspired by your struggles to protect nature and that want to join your cause. So, it was with great pleasure that we welcomed in our WWF office in Dadia, an international group of students from Pinewood - The American International Scool of Thessaloniki, with whom we had a discussion regarding the various actions for the protection of the Egyptian Vulture in Bulgaria and Greece, in the context of the LIFE + project "The Return of the Neophron".
The incident of the two poisoned Egyptian Vultures in Amfipoli, nearby the town of Serres, provided food for thought, as the group tried to locate the reasons for which the use of poisoned baits continues to be a common practice. Τhe group also had a go at the appropriate steps that need to be made in order for such incidents to be eliminated.
First step: everybody must be part of the solution! Creativity & the mood to take action in the frontline! The group declared that this visit would serve as a starting point for a series of initiatives that they will undertake in order to spread the message "Poisoned baits are a threat to our natural environment - We need to act all together NOW".
