Setting the boundaries of the Almyros Wetland: The first step is finally made...

After many years of neglect, the first step towards the sustainable management of this unique and valuable wetland was finally made. It resulted from many long - term efforts from a number of volunteers and from the hard work of many who participated actively on the day of the event.

The Ecological Movement of Mirabello, would like to thank and congratulate everyone who participated in the event, among others the Scouts, the Hospital for Chronic Diseases, the orphanage Paidopoli in Neapoli and the Organization of Parents and Guardians of Agios Nikolaos, all of which helped in planting, erecting the information signs, placing the wooden pegs and ropes and cleaning the beach.

The Greek Ramsar sites - a parody of conservation

This brief aims to  summarize the  present status of the Greek Ramsar wetlands. Greece has ten Ramsar sites, of which seven are on the Montreux Record. This is probably the worst performance, at least in the entire Mediterranean. The Evros delta is used in this brief as a case study since it is one of the most important Greek Ramsar wetlands and one of the 3 that in 1999 were removed from the Montreux record based on alleged progress in conservation status and removal of threats.
