FONDACIJA ZA ZAŠTITU PTICA GRABLJIVICA - BEOGRAD

Evropska konferencija zaštite lešinara, 14-17.11.2023.

by

Održana je Evropska konferencija zaštite lešinara od 14-17. novembra u mestu Kaseres u oblasti Ekstremadura u Španiji. Tim Fondacije za zaštitu ptica grabljivica predstavio je na najbolji mogući način najuspešniji prjekat zaštite beloglavog supa na Balkanu koji je realizovan u Srbiji.

Dr Slobodan Davidović i dr Irena Hribšek iz Instituta za biološka istraživanja, Instituta od nacionalnog značaja za Srbiju, Univerziteta u Beogradu predstavili su zapažen rad. Potvrdilo se da je vitalnost populacije beloglavog supa iz Srbije u rangu sa najvećom populacijom u Evropi koja se nalazi u Španiji kao i da je nivo genetičke raznovrsnosti u njoj podjednako visok. Istaknuto je da je zaštita genetičke raznovrsnosti i lokalnih populacija prema IUCN preporukama neophodna i da nije prihvatljivo unošenje drugih populacija lešinara na prostore gde postoji autohtona lokalna populacija.

Da podsetimo da je upravo to uradila evropska Fondacija za zaštitu lešinara na Balkanu unošenjem jedinki iz španske populacije beloglavog supa u Bugarsku. Na Uvcu se, do sada, pojavilo 12 beloglavih supova iz Španije, ali nisu preživeli surovu peštersku klimu.

Greške konzervacionih programa osnaživanja populacija i vraćanja vrsta u određene regije su upravo i nastajale unošenjem dalekih populacija tamo gde još postoje lokalne autohtone populacije. Ovakve strategije mogu dovedu do gubitka lokalnih adaptacija što može dovesti do pada u brojnosti jedinki, gubitka populacije i nezamenjivom gubitku genetičke raznovrsnosti. Nažalost, bez obzira na sva ova iskustva evropska Fondacija za zaštitu lešinara nastavlja sa ovim programima nanoseći velike štete u zaštiti lešinara.

Prize-winning photos in the 2023 competition

by

The competition of the Foundation for the Protection of Birds of Prey for the best photo of birds in 2023 “Birds in Action” is unique in the region with the theme of birds seen through the eyes of photographers. So far, 211 authors with 2191 works have participated in these competitions. The photos show 322 species of birds from all continents, including the rarest birds in the world. The idea of this beautiful competition is to raise awareness about the exceptionality of the birds that surround us and the importance of the need to preserve them.

39 authors with 154 works participated in the XVIII competition, which confirms the great trust and support of photographers for this noble idea, for which we are immensely grateful. A great diversity was recorded in the photographs with 87 species of birds.

The jury had a difficult task to single out among the submitted works special works to which it wants to draw the public’s attention. In addition to the three awarded photos, the jury praised two authors for the works they sent. 32 photos were selected and will be shown at the exhibition on December 15 at the Center for the Promotion of Science, Kralja Petra 46 in Belgrade. The most successful works will be used to make the 20th calendar of the Foundation for the Protection of Birds of Prey for the year 2024, which is intended as a catalog of the exhibition.

The awarded photos are:
1st prize, Belgrade Eagles, author Saša Malezić

2nd prize, Eskadirla, author Bernard Gašparovski

3rd prize, Falco cherrug, author Geza Farkaš

XVIII Competition for the best photo of 2023 – “Birds in action!”

by

As in previous years, the Birds of Prey Protection Foundation organized the Best Photography Competition: “The Birds in Action” under the auspices of the “Photo Association of Serbia”.

The best photographs from the previous competitions are on the posters and calendar of the Foundation, showing all the beauty of diversity and at the same time calling for the protection of endangered species in Serbia. Our goal is also to popularize the author’s photo inspired by birds, but also to point out the bad status of endangered species and natural habitats in Serbia.

Everybody can participate in it, regardless of residence and whether they are dealing with photography professionally or amateurly. According to the competition rules, one participant can send up to four (4) photographs. Only wild bird photos – recorded exclusively in nature, come into consideration. Photos from ZOOs or birds from captivity will be excluded. The photos can be black and white or in color or in digital form. The photo format is “JPG”, at least 1920 pixels in length on a longer page format, at a resolution of 300 dpi.

Each group of photos should also follow the information and “Application Form” about the author (name, surname, address, contact telephone and e-mail) and the work (name, where and when the photo was taken). The name of the photo and the serial number must be in accordance with the “Application form”, and by signing the Application, the author declares that all the photos are his. Application-Form 2023

The author of the best photo will be awarded RSD 10,000. The author of the second-prized photo with RSD 5,000, and the third prize is the publication of the awarded photo in the Foundation’s propaganda materials. The Foundation will print a calendar for 2024, made up of 12 selected photos from the competition. The calendar will be sent to authors whose photos are on the calendar.

With strict compliance with copyright law photos participating in the Competition, the Birds of Prey Protection Foundation will use to achieve their goals – the protection of endangered species, unless the author requires otherwise. The submission of photographs to third parties is possible only with the agreement with the author!

The deadline for the reception of this year’s works is November 1, 2023. After that the expert jury will review the works and choose the best photographs. It will notify interested parties about their final decision no later than November 10, 2023, through the Foundation website and Facebook page.

Obeležavanje Međunarodnog dana zaštite lešinara, Uvac, 2.9.2023.

by

Poseta Specijalnom rezervatu prirode “Uvac” 2. septembra 2023. godine i obeležavanje Internacionalnog dana lešinara.

Svake prve subote u septembru Fondacija za zaštitu ptica grabljivica u saradnji sa Specijalnim rezervatom prirode “Uvac”, Institutom za biološka istraživanja “Siniša Stanković”, Institutom od nacionalnog značaja za Republiku Srbiju, Univerziteta u Beogradu i Turističkom organizacijom “Zlatar” tradicionalno obeležava Svetski dan zaštite lešinara. Lešinari su značajna grupa životinja koja se suočava sa nizom pretnji koje ugrožavaju i sam njihov opstanak. Populacije svih vrsta lešinara su ugrožene, a neke vrste su pred samim nestajanjem. Lešinari imaju nezamenjivu ulogu u očuvanju harmonije u prirodnim procesima razlaganja organske materije i sprečavanja širenja zaraza. Beloglavi sup je vrsta od nacionalnog značaja za Srbiju jer se njegov lik nalazi na srednjovekovnim znamenjima Srbije.

Da bi se skrenula pažnja javnosti i ukaže na značaj ove značajne grupe ptica i da bi se zaustavio proces izumiranja, na Internacionalni dan zaštite lešinara organizuje se niz obrazovnih sadržaja među kojima i posete staništima u kojima žive ove vrste.
Program mera zaštite beloglavog supa u SRP “Uvac” je najuspešniji program zaštite ove ugrožene vrste na Balkanu, koji je obezbedio neophodan resurs ove vrste za njen povratak na prostore sa kojih je iščezla na Balkanu, te je red da ovaj uspeh obeležimo u rezervatu Uvac.

Fondacija za zaštitu ptica grabljivica tradiconalno obeležava ovaj dan već više od decenije zajedno sa svojim članovima i prijateljima, organizujući prigodne obrazovne manifestacije: međunarodne konferencije na temu zaštite lešinara, izložbe, oglašavanje i reportaže u medijima, posete kolonijama beloglavih supova… Ipak trenutak koji se ne može opisati, već samo doživeti je vraćanje supova kojima je bila potrebna naša pomoć u prirodu. Ove godine tri beloglava supa će raširiti svoja krila u prisustvu učesnika ove svečanosti. Postavljeni će biti i satelitski odašiljač kako bi pratili dalju sudbinu ovih ptica.

Dobrodošli su svi koji žele svojim prisustvom da uveličaju ovu našu malu svečanost i da zajedno sa nama uživaju u ovim izuzetnim pticama u njihovom prirodnom staništu.
Cena izleta za članove je 7500 rsd. a za prijatelje Fondacije je 8000 rsd. Uplatu možete izvršiti u prostorijama Fondacije za zaštitu ptica grabljivica, Bulevar despota Stefana 142 ponedeljkom i četvrtkom od 11 do 16 časova ili na račun 325-9500900016839-20 OTP banka sa naznakom za izlet.
Polazak je 2.9. 2023. u 6 časova, sa parkinga kod Brankovog mosta sa desne strane iz pravca grada. Dolazak u rezervat Uvac i puštanja ptica iz prihvatilišt planirana je oko 11 časova. Obilazak kolonije Uvac katamaranom planirano je od 14 časova kad će Turistička organizacija prirediti ručak u prirodi sa domaćim specijalitetima. Prenoćište je u hotelu Panorama. Obilazak kolonije supova Radoinja planiran je za 3. septembar.
Posle ručka je planirani povratak u Beograd. Dolazak u Beograd planiran je do 23 časa.

Tagging of Griffon Vultures in 2023

by

At the beginning of June 2023, the Birds of Prey Protection Foundation and the Institute for Biological Research “Siniša Stanković”, an Institute of national importance for the Republic of Serbia, University of Belgrade, in cooperation with JP “Rezervat Uvac” d.o.o. and experienced climbers of the Academic Speleological and Alpinist Club (ASAK) from Belgrade and the Speleological Club “Ponir” from Banja Luka successfully completed the marking of griffon vulture cubs.
Despite the bad weather conditions, a total of 19 cubs were marked in two shifts, and satellite transmitters were installed on two of them. The two cubs were too small to be marked.

The start of the action was opened by the new director of SRP “Uvac” Mr. Nikola Šaponjić.

Three decades of work of the Birds of Prey Protection Foundation was celebrated

by

Three decades of work of the Birds of Prey Protection Foundation was celebrated in the most beautiful way. Members and friends of the Foundation visited the last refuges of indigenous populations of the black vulture and the white vulture in the Balkans. These two species have disappeared in Serbia. They visited the reserves in Greece: Dadia Forest and Delta Marice (Evros), and in Bulgaria: Studen Kladenets and Madjarevo. We were greeted by a warm welcome from our hosts, our colleagues, beautiful weather and birds. Our friend Dimitris Vasilakis tried his best to make this meeting unforgettable. In Bulgaria, our colleague Ivaylo Angelov was our lecturer and guide. We enjoyed the flight of the white vulture and the black vulture, of which there were 18 in the sky at one time. While we’re here, we couldn’t resist visiting the mouth of the Marica, which is the place with the greatest variety of birds in Europe, right after the Danube delta.
