Successful Increase of Capercaillies Population in Poland

This beautiful species of bird used to live in Galicia (our region in Spain) a few decades ago but, unfortunately, now, it's considered extinct in the mountains where it used to grow and live. To our surprise, in Poland, it was about to go extinct as well until they started a successful programme to increase its population, which has had really good results. In our opinion, we could learn from this interesting project and try and bring the species back to our mountains.

The photograph was taken from behind a glass where the capercaillies usually spend their first months of life until they grow enough to be able to be set free in nature. For this reason, the quality is no good!

The other schools have brought with them new enriching ideas such as growing a school garden, which will...

Here are several posters that we have created to promote our project amongst our fellow citizens.  We aim at inspiring them and hope a few will make some changes in their lives adopting the ideas we are proposing, which are really easy to carry out.                                           We designed a few posters and voted for the one we liked the best.
