IWC 2017

18 different wetland areas monitored all over Albania, more than 165,000 birds, 64 species of wintering waterbirds, more than 60 participants, thousands of kilometers covered in difficult weather conditions and wetland surfaces partly frozen. This is the picture of the latest census of Wintering Waterbirds, undertaken during 13-15 of January 2017. Now we have to analyze those results, understand the populations’ trend for different species to provide recommendations for the respective administration and share this analysis with all our nature friends. A sincere “thank you!” to all the participants! You were great!
