The World Lynx Day was marked by the Macedonian Ecological Society this year with an organized visit of students from the “Lazo Angelovski” elementary school in Skopje to the educational center “Bunec” near Mavrovo.
The students had the opportunity to walk along an educational trail, which is specially designed for children of their age. Educators from NP Mavrovo carefully and dedicatedly explained what they were seeing at each step of the trail.
The educational trail is mainly located in a beech forest, but there were also some fir trees and pastures, where they could see plants used to make teas.
The students learned more about the Balkan lynx, which is most prevalent in Macedonia on a global level, and learned why it is important to protect its survival.
Along the trail, composed of informative signposts, the students could also learn more about deer, snakes, hedgehogs, and the types of deciduous and evergreen trees that thrive in Macedonia.
