Project description:Biodiversity is fundamental for „the services of ecosystems“ which nature offers us: clime adjustment, water and air, soil fertility and food production, fuel, fibers and medicines. We tend to think all these are a given, but the situation is the opposite. We are responsible to leave this heritage in a good state to our children. That is why, nowadays, biodiversity conservancy represents one of the most vital international problems. Biodiversity conservancy is necessary not only to protect our lives in the present, but it’s an effort for the following generations as biodiversity is the engine that keeps the global and regional ecologic balance. It guarantees the renewal of the biological resources and maintains the necessary environment quality. Deltas are areas that continuously develop and change, becoming the perfect home for hundreds of plant and animal species. The biodiversity concept is essential for deltas as in these spaces, flora and fauna reach almost inconceivable levels of variety and natural luxuriance that rarely we are given to see on other landforms.
“Paradise of biodiversity” gathers young people from countries that have deltas focusing on the Danube Delta, the Volga River Delta and the Donana National Park (delta of river Guadalquivir). The methods of indoor and outdoor activities implementation are mainly used in non-formal education, in order to learn about such a fundamental topic as biodiversity in a creative and interactive manner.
