The Macedonian Ecological Society (MES) was part of the Eco Green Festival in Mavrovo, taking place 16-18 August 2013. At the event, MES presented its projects by distributing promotional materials, posters and books on protected areas in Macedonia, Shar Mountain, Mount Jablanica, Monostpitovo Swamp, the brown bear, and many other topics. Visitors had the opportunity to ask questions, inform themselves about matters of personal interest and talk to Society representatives.
Presentations focused on the Balkan Recovery Programme (BLRP), presented by MES representative Gjorgje Ivanov (also a member of the BLRP team). The stand was accompanied with panels providing details about lynx, its home, feeding habits, and also its status in the Balkans – and what we can do to conserve this species.
