The Grasslandbirds project
Joint Actions Involving Volunteers and Raising Public Awareness for the Protection of the Birds of Pannonian Grasslands - this joint project by MME/BirdLife Hungary and the Serbian Ornithological Society aims to protect natural grasslands and endangered bird species by raising awareness, involving volunteers in conservation efforts, and facilitating the exchange of expertise between partners.
The aim of the project is to help to stop the loss of biodiversity in the border region, focusing on the 1530* Pannonian salt marshes and grasslands, habitat type of European Community importance and the bird species that live there. The involvement of the volunteers in various nature conservation problems is important, since human activity causes most of the problems. The priority task of the project is therefore communication and dissemination of knowledge. The project supplements existing knowledge by involving volunteers, which involves three different field surveys: 1) white stork nest survey; 2) survey of electrical poles dangerous for birds; 3) survey of wetlands and their birds. Joint field actions will be organized for the professional members of the partners for the purpose of knowledge exchange, on various topics. A summary professional document is going to be prepared on the situation of birds in the border region.

A fészekben lévő gólyafiókák gyűrűzése több mint százéves hagyomány, amely nagyon fontos információkat szolgáltat a szakemberek számára a vonulás útvonaláról és időzítéséről, a madarak életkoráról, a költőhelyválasztásról, de akár a területhűségről vagy a párválasztási szokásokról is.
