MBR project (LIFE1. ENV/ES/0. 00. 77. The plant is testing the project's new treatment process on wastewater from food company, Eurofrits. The wastewater results from the preparation of precooked- meals of fried squid and breadcrumbs. Current processing technologies generate a large amount of sludge and consume high amounts of energy. Three captured individuals from Slovakia were transported to the forest thanks to the project LIFE Luchs Pf.

September 2. 01. 6 On 1. August 2. 01. 6, the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds released three young captive- bred Egyptian vultures (Neophron percnopterus) into an artificial nest in the Rusenski Lom Nature Park in Bulgaria. The activity was carried out within the framework of the LIFE project, Return of the Neophron (LIFE1.

Bulgaria. The project actions address the most relevant threats identified in the EU Species Action Plan for the Egyptian vulture (2. The symposium addressed measures to prevent the extinction of the northern bald ibis (Geronticus eremita) species and to diminish threats to its conservation. The event was held in the context of successful ongoing research and reintroduction projects in Europe. The meeting also coincided with the publication of an international action plan for the bald ibis. The aim is to downgrade its current high threat level on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species within ten years.
Entitled A Guidebook to Human- Carnivore Conflict, it provides new tools and innovative strategies for the conservation and management of populations of brown bear and other large carnivores inhabiting human- modified landscapes. It is available in five languages (Slovenian, English, Croatian, Italian and German), and can be accessed online. The guidebook was written by Dr.
Seth Wilson, a technical advisor to the project, who collated input from all the project partners, bear- damage inspectors, and bear emergency intervention teams. A key message running through the guidebook is that positive working relationships among wildlife managers, local communities and other stakeholders are fundamental for the prevention and reduction of human- carnivore conflict.

August 2. 01. 6 The Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea (Directorate for Sustainable Development, Environmental Damage, European Union and International Affairs) has produced a Knowledge Platform, which serves as a valuable online resource for sharing best environmental practices and climate- related techniques and approaches. The European Commission has funded or co- funded many significant projects through a range of programmes, including LIFE, and these have demonstrated a wide variety of innovative environmental methodologies. They have moreover contributed to the knowledge base for implementing EU legislation as well as informing policy- making.
The Knowledge Platform was set up to provide opportunities for those who have developed good practices, and thus added to this knowledge base, to network with potential replicators. Read more > > Bulgarian LIFE project releases ten Lesser Kestrel 1. August 2. 01. 6 On 5 July 2.
Ivelina Vasileva, the Bulgarian Minister of the Environment and Waters, visited the Lesser Kestrel Recovery (LIFE1. NAT/BG/0. 00. 36. Falco naumanni) into the mountainous Sakar region in south- eastern Bulgaria. The batch of ten chicks was the last of this year’s hatched Lesser Kestrel taking part in the adaptation and release module in the village of Levka, in the Svilengrad municipality. This is why the project for reproducing these birds is very useful.
It is directly financed by the European Commission, and was entered in the Commission’s classification as one of the best managed,” Minister Vasileva said. Read more > > LIFE HUELLAS releases footprint calculator for railway construction 0. August 2. 01. 6 The LIFE HUELLAS (LIFE1.

Forest Information Systems (FIS) in Italy. The project has recently demonstrated the use of drones for monitoring forests at one- day events in three regions: Rincine (Florence) in Tuscany (1. May 2. 01. 6), Lago di Vico (Viterbo) in Lazio (2. May 2. 01. 6), and Bosco Pennataro (Isernia) in Molise (2. June 2. 01. 6). The main objectives of the FRESh LIFE project are to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of integrating data collected from forest inventories with information obtained from remote- sensing, and to use this approach in the development of FIS and indicators to help forest managers evaluate sustainable forest management practices.
To this end, drones equipped with Li. DAR and very- high spatial resolution multispectral sensors are being used to acquire remote sensing data over the three demonstration areas. The integrated data will be analysed to map forest variables useful for describing both qualitative and quantitative forest characteristics at the operational scale of forest management.

The aim of the LIFE RE- Bison project is to create a genetically- and demographically- viable wild European bison population in Romania. The European bison, the continent’s largest wild land mammal, was hunted to near- extinction by 1. Europe have slowly enabled populations to recover. The project is also working to create new economic opportunities based around bison, to reduce conflicts between bison and existing rural economic activities, and to increase public awareness and interest in the conservation of European bison.
