The opening conference of the project \u201cAdaptation and Increased Resilience of Birds through Awareness-Raising, Monitoring, Treatment and Raptor Protection Management \u2013 AVIATOR\u201d<\/em> was held in Belgrade on Tuesday, September 23. The project is funded by the European Union through the Interreg Danube Region Program.<\/p>\n

The project aims to strengthen resilience, support adaptation, and improve the protection of raptor populations in the Danube Region in the context of climate change, through the development and testing of coordinated and harmonized measures across transnational ecological regions. These measures are designed to mitigate the negative impacts of infectious and parasitic diseases on raptor populations, as well as to reduce overall pressures on biodiversity and ensure the conservation of endangered species.<\/p>\n

The conference opened with welcoming remarks from Dr. Branislav Kureljushi\u0107, Director of the Institute of Veterinary Medicine of Serbia, and State Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management, \u017deljko Rado\u0161evi\u0107.<\/p>\n

The conference included presentations on the importance of raptor conservation, highlighting regional threats, the effects of climate change, emerging infectious diseases, and wildlife poisoning. Experts from Serbia and neighboring countries shared insights and research findings, stressing the need for collaborative action.<\/p>\n
