Implementation of nature conservation rescue center and animal health monitoring system with cross-border cooperation (Animal Health)
Start date: Jul 31, 2010, End date: Jul 30, 2011 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The monitoring of watery habitat is not solved in the current system of KNPI (currently there are 4 monitoring: public roads; sample territories; predatory birds; general bird monitoring). The project wants to build up the standard monitoring of watery habitats as well, and join national and international databases. Both countries are very lucky to be located in the territory of bird migration, this part of Europe is very special, highly protected. Joint work in this field results more effective and better systems, moreover joint development ensures standard structure and the project can serve as a best practice. With the cooperation of cross-border institutions, especially zoos more efficient monitoring and animal saving can be managed. Involving people with proper and wide information about protected animals, and how to treat sick animals we can achieve a great cooperation in the region.Analysis of migratory birds (transportation and provision of sick animals, collecting dead animals and analyze the cause od sickness or death), recording data, and statistics. Works: repatriation bird cages, improvement of special laboratories. Achievements: During the project the Kiskunság National Park Directorate and the Zoo Palic developed andcoordinated a monitoring system together, as well as Vadaspark and Zoo Palic developed a rescuecenter for birds, and built a repatriation bird cage. Partners did regularly the animal saving activityand continuously operated the Quarantine-houses. The injured animals have been transported toSzeged Zoo and Palic Zoo for further treatments.Partners have started to monitor the waterfowls at 16 sample areas. 15 from those sample areasare still water wetlands and one of them is a Danube-section. These monitoring activities havebeen done regularly week by week.
