Project visit to Oursi


In March, Oursi was visited by members of the French Committee of IUCN, which is supervising the NATURAMA project on the Oursi Wetland Conservation Plan. The project is funded by the Small Initiatives Programme (PPI) of the French Global Environment Fund (FFEM), WWF, Vogelbescherming Nederland, the Swedish International Biodiversity Programme (SwedBio) and BirdLife International. Among others, the team checked on the status of hedges planted to stabilise wetland banks, and the community tree nursery. The project implementation was found well developed and further recommendations, including a zoning plan for Oursi, were presented.
