Practice
Different steppe ecosystems combine with wetlands in coastal Dobrudja. To raise awareness about the rich biodiversity of the region the project produced a series of information materials, a poster and a set of training materials for children between 6-8, 8-10 and 10-14 years of age. Seminars in the open air in the Center for Protection of Nature and Animals were full of environmental activities and research tasks
