His work continues \u2014 through the people he inspired, the paths he paved, and the nature he loved.<\/p>\n<p>This year, for the first time, we are launching a photo contest on the theme of wild spring plants. All participants of the memorial march on Kitka have the right to submit up to two photographs. The photos can be sent to us no later than May 5, 2025, after which a jury will select the winning entries. These winning photos will be used to create promotional materials for the Macedonian Ecological Society.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor and remembrance of Ljupcho Melovski, his closest family, colleagues, friends, students, and admirers climbed Mount Kitka, following in the footsteps of a man who dedicated his entire life to the protection of nature.\u00a0 The memorial hike, now traditionally held for the fifth consecutive year, was organized by the Macedonian Ecological Society in collaboration [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":9300,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[377],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9299","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9299","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9299"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9299\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9302,"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9299\/revisions\/9302"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mes.org.mk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
