On Friday 19th May the V Congress on “Special Bird Protection Areas in Built-up Areas of Extremadura - Conservation and Tourism” was held at the Extremadura Film Library of the city of Cáceres. As a part of the activities of the City of Cáceres Bird Festival, this now traditional congress analyses the situation of the urban Special Bird Protection Areas (ZEPAs) in Extremadura from the point of view of both their conservation and their tourism potential associated with species such as the lesser kestrel.
As is only to be expected, the team of the LIFE-ZEPAURBAN project will feature strongly at this congress as it is not for nothing that it is considered its source as our coordinators have been associated with it since its inception. The State Office for the Environment, the State Tourism Office, Terra Naturalis, INTROMAC, DEMA, and Prefabricados Extremadura 2002 are some of the partners of the LIFE-ZEPAURBAN project that will play an active role in this edition with talks on their experience in the project to date.
