Thanks students of Corvo School for your excelent work!

The project team is a member of the Nature Club of Corvo School, which is developed by Herminhia Coelho, a professor and follower of this blog. We will carry out one activity per month with the students to keep them involved in some of the actions of the project.

The activity developed last Tuesday and Wednesday was dedicated to the study of Seabirds. Firstly, we showed them all the breeding seabirds in Corvo and theirs calls. Then, the students of the primary cycle choose a seabird to make a drawing.



The next day, we produced decoys with the students of second and third cycle at the Cultural and Environmental Interpretation Centre. The decoys will be used to attract seabirds to the Biological Reserve of the project, where have been already built more than 100 artificial nests. This action of the LIFE project aim to increase the availability of nesting sites for seabirds, in a restricted area without predators, and contribute to the conservation of their populations.





The student put a lot of work into it and you will visit the exhibition with fantastic drawings of seabirds at the Centre for Environmental Interpretation and Cultural, from today until next month.
The next activity will take place last week of February and will address the current state of Corvo as Biosphere Reserve. Our intention is the students know what Biosphere Reserve means and what are theirs consequences. The practice activity will be the presentation of ideas to improve Corvo as Biosphere Reserve. For sure you will be informed of how it goes.

Cheers,
