Junior rewilders camp kicks off in the Danube Delta

       An annual education camp kicks off in the Danube Delta, organised by Rewilding Romania and Rewilding Ukraine. This year, the camp brings together 30 enthusiastic schoolchildren from local communities in both Romania and Ukraine who call the unique Danube Delta their home.
      The camp is based in the picturesque village Jurilovca, located on Romanian side of the delta, a place where wild nature still thrives in its original, untouched form.
      Children from Vylkove and the Borodino community in Ukraine, as well as Jurilovca and C.A. Rosetti in Romania, have joined forces in teams to explore, observe, create, and dream about the future of their shared delta. The camp’s main goal is to reconnect young people with nature by immersing them in the world of rewilding – a philosophy focused on restoring natural processes, habitats, and wildlife.
      Right now, under the guidance of teachers and trainers from both countries, the children are learning about the Danube Delta’s nature, getting to know key species of local flora and fauna, and discovering why healthy wetlands and steppes are vital for both people and the planet. They’re also enjoying some rest and fun activities with scouts from Cercetaşii României - Aventura Piteşti.

    
    

    


 


50 years of conservation practices on Danube!



By the Decree of the Council of Ministers of USSR as of July 24, 1967 № 490 a nature conservation area of republican significance was created in Danube delta with the total area of 3 thousands sq. km.
These first thousands of hectares of valuable nature territories now make up the part of conservation  zone of Danube biosphere reserve of the National academy of science of Ukraine.
The state, taking the delta nature territories under its patronage, based this act upon the importance of preservation of wildlife in the form of conservation as the most progressive in the world. The conservation practice fully supported this statement on the territories of Ukrainian lower Danube (1967-2017): from the reserve as a sanctuary of nature to the branch of the Black Sea state reserve, an independent nature reserve “Danube overflow land”, and finally the Danube biosphere reserve with the issue of the relevant certificate of UNESCO.
We congratulate with this anniversary all those who worked and continues working in Danube biosphere reserve. Wishing everyone productive and creative achievements, welfare, happiness, peace and all the best!
