Conservation measures and monitoring of breeding season of Dalmatian Pelicans

Considered as the stronghold of Dalmatian Pelicans, Divjaka-Karavasta National Park is the only breeding area for the species along Adriatic coast. The breeding season of the species consists of a highly important period, where the disturbance factors should be minimized as possible. In this regard, every year, the Albanian Ornithological Society has been engaged in implementing continues conservation measures, including:

rehabilitation of the Dalmatian Pelicans’ breeding beds,
night wardening of the Dalmatian Pelican colony,
continuous monitoring of the number of breeding pairs and the productivity of the colony calculated as the number of fledgeling offspring per number of breeding pairs and
several activities for raising awareness on the conservation efforts for the Dalmatian Pelicans and Divjaka-Karavasta National Park
