PROJECTS

The Iduna Tours team collaborates actively and disinterestedly in the realization of various censuses and study projects on some of the bird species present in Extremadura, promoted by several of the conservation entities with a presence in the region, such as SEO /BirdLifeor Grus Extremadura .

Currently and for several years we collaborated in the study on the red ridge in the province of Cáceres , as well as in the sampling of aquatic warbler , one of the most threatened small birds in Europe. After several seasons and thanks to these works, we have been able to see for the first time its regular passage through the region, which was collected by some local and national media . In turn, we have maintained for more than three years and thanks to the help of some colleagues, a scientific banding station in the Arrocampo reservoir. As much as possible, we also organize workshops and free activities that encourage respect and admiration for wildlife.
Cheer up and collaborate!

What is citizen science and how can I collaborate?

Citizen science is understood as scientific research carried out by a sum of collaborators, among which are usually scientists and professionals together with teams of volunteers. There are many ways to collaborate with the conservation of our environment, almost as many as entities or associations that promote them. The old motto -Think globally and act locally -It is still valid, so it is always a good option to know which conservation organizations carry out actions close to your population and how you can collaborate with them. But in case you can not think of any idea, we suggest some.

In the case of birds, you can start uploading your records to eBird , where your information will be of great help to know in detail the distribution and ecology of the birds, or you can also participate in the follow Y censuses promoted periodically by SEO / BirdLife whose data serve to evaluate their trends and design conservation actions. You can also collaborate with the wildlife recovery center of your community, as they are AMUSY The Ovens in Extremadura, helping thousands of animals have a second chance. If your passion is other groups of fauna such as mammals or reptiles, you can collaborate with the SECEM or uploading your dice to platforms like Observed or the SIARE . In Spain there are large entities dedicated to the defense of the environment, such as WWF , Friends of the earth , Ecologists in Action or Greepeace , who will always need your help, but if you live in Extremadura and prefer an entity with more local roots we recommend you Adenex , Anser or Grus Extremadura . The environment is a patrimony of all, as it is everyone's job to collaborate as much as possible to improve their condition and that of the species that inhabit it, including us, so your collaboration, however small, will always be of great help. Cheer up and Collaborate!
