LIFE-ZEPAURBAN

The Project's management and all its partners considered it necessary to extend the execution period of LIFE-ZEPAURBAN. On the one hand, some actions --especially those related to the pilot experience at feeding areas-- have suffered from significant delays. On the other hand, the current situation due to COVID-19 has conditioned the work of all partners and had an impact on the undertaking of other project actions.

If you are a technician with a higher degree, with experience in LIFE projects, in conservation projects and economic management of projects, there is a place for you among us.

On October 14, LIFE-ZEPAURBAN will participate in the final Steppes of La Mancha Conference. This is an online conference in which professionals, experts, and businessmen responsible for initiatives to enhance the natural heritage with a special focus on the conservation of steppe birds and the general biodiversity of the agricultural landscape will participate. Registration is already open and you can check out the program at this link:

Last week, the LIFE-ZEPAURBAN Project received a visit from Sara Mora, from the NEEMO-IDOM external team of the European Commission, so that she could see firsthand how the project is unfolding. On Monday the 9th, a meeting of all the partners was held in Mérida in which the development of the project's main actions was reviewed and their future was analyzed.

The International Ornithology Fair (Feria Internacional de Ornitología, FIO) will be held from 23rd to 25th February at the Monfragüe​ National Park and the LIFE ZEPAURBAN Project will have a space on the stand of the State Tourist Office.

Within the framework of this Action C2 "Adaptation of nesting sites on buildings managed by the State Office of Libraries, Museums, and Cultural Heritage", part of the roof and the tower of the Church of Nuestra Señora de la Purificación de Almendralejo will be remodelled to avoid filtrations in the building and ensure the permanence of its important colony of lesser kestrels.
