Lessons from LIFE Rupis - MAVA Learning and Sharing
In the LIFE Rupis project, we took an integrated approach to the conservation of natural values, based on combining nature protection and the development of the unique region of the international Douro canyon. We joined forces across two countries united by a river to ensure the conservation of threatened birds, which know no borders. Learn more about the best practices we developed, in these materials funded by a MAVA Learning and Sharing grant. Videos: fighting poison, supplementary feeding and powerlines |

"Friends of the Egyptian Vulture" landowners network To recognise, encourage and support entrepreneurs whose vision of development is based on valuing biodiversity, we created the “Friends of the Egyptian Vulture” Landowners Network, whose 27 members implement good practices in their properties and sell environmentally-friendly goods and services. ObservArribas Nature Festival The ObservArribas Festival, organised by the project, became a veritable annual birdwatcher migration to the region. Over the course of 3 years, a single weekend brought hundreds of nature-lovers who dined here, slept here and discovered the region’s charms, boosting local economy and whetting appetites to return.
