AN INTRODUCTION

ldquoTo form a team itrsquos just the beginning to stay together itrsquos progress to work together

itrsquos successrdquo

This sentence describes well our Comenius Team The main aim of this project entitled

Sustainable Development-A Green Future for Europerdquo is to promote knowledge care and respect

for the environment We want to raise awareness of the necessity of recycling renewable energy

sources environmentally friendly products energy buildings environmentally friendly commuting

and travelling As many of the schools involved work with pupils who have to face various

problems another goal of this project is to help these students gain ability to become integrated

personalities with principles and values which will be based on mutual respect for the individuality

of the people of each country The main target group is our students and the other members of the

community as well The issue will be dealt with indifferent manners because of the wide variety of

target group members Theoretical knowledge will join with practical activities (performed in open

air or during visits) Each partner will gather material information and data both collected locally

and given by the other participant countries and will produce final work which will show how to

reduce our impact on the environment (scientific field studies report articles video exhibition

posters and slide show) Then all the products will be shared and presented during Exhibitions

Meetings Special Events (Earth Weekhellip) In order to disseminate the ongoing result of the project

and all its activities a website and a newsletter will be produced We expect that all the common

activities the exchange of opinions and good practice examples will help the participants to realize

that environmental care and sustainability may be global issues but the solutions are in individual

behaviors and choices It is time to respect our Earth time to adopt a green lifestyle That is why

our Comenius Project is so important

We have entered the 21st century and the rapidly growing of urbanization and

expanding infrastructure through intensive resource depletion pollution industrial needs and

modern lifestyle are very damaging to ecosystems biodiversity and have led to environmental

hazards that threaten the life of citizens disturb the harmony and balance of the surrounding nature

and its ecosystems and put the life of future generations at stake Most problems were created

during the past few decades and people are still far from being environmentally conscious

Ecology is a really fragile issue in the world Our countries set goals towards a more environmental

policy In order to achieve this we should become more active citizens eliminating the bad habits

of the past and we certainly need to raise awareness of young people the active citizens of the

4

future Schools projects such as Sustainable Development ndash a lsquogreenrsquo future for Europe can

certainly have a great and positive contribution to this

Through their participation in our Comenius project the students teachers and parents

had the opportunity to be informed about burning environmental issues and become more active in

searching for causes and possible solutions In their last project task they had to make a thorough

research concerning endangered species in our country and tremendous natural disasters that we

have suffered the last years

They had the chance to realize that human negligence was and still is the main cause

of problems and the most negative impact on the environment Anthropogenic mortality the

development of large infrastructure pollution poaching and natural disasters are the basic factors

for their imminent extinction

LITHUANIA

I NATURAL DISASTERS IN LITHUANIA

Lithuanian climate is formed and is affected by global factors and local geographical

circumstances

In Lithuania Natural disasters influence distribution of animals and population The

most common natural disasters in Lithuania are fires floods and drought

During flooding nature bears heavy losses drowns animals material and spiritual

values are ruined houses are damaged There are a lot of flooding factors contamination of the

underground water sewer and rubbish spread infectious diseases cultivated fields overflow and

yield dies Lithuania frequently suffers from floods Nemunas

Forest fires bring devastation - not only biodiversity nests insects are devastated but

tress and leaves are attacked by pests

6

Drought impacts to broad-leaved plants because they are mostly sensitive to drought

In general the drought could affect fir trees which are not adapted to drought The chain is very

long the plant and insect species including birds The tree is used by Woodpeckers birds pigmy

owls honey buzzard and others So we can see interrelationship between natural disasters and

endangered species

7

II ENDANGERED ANIMALS IN LITHUANIA

There are hundreds of species of animals throughout Lithuania that are disappearing fast

due to hunting or man`s interference in their natural habitat The wild cat Flying Squirrel beavers

elk ferret ndash these are just few names of animals hunted nearly to extinction In the twentieth century

white black grouse and great spotted eagle disappeared Lynx otter and European mink are on the

borderline of extinction The Lithuanian Red Book included 18 mammals Trade in these species is

forbidden but some of these animals are killed and used for medical research others are hunted for

meat or adornment Lithuanian government banned killing of endangered species and establishes

nature reserves national parks and Natura 2000 territories for their protection The anti-fur

movement has become a part of some nature loverslsquo lives in our country

Growing of urbanization and expanding infrastructure through intensive resource

depletion pollution are very damaging ecosystems biodiversity This poses are threated to the

Lithuanian Fauna and Flora

WISENT

In the twentieth century wisent was likely to disappear Wisent is included in the

international and Lithuanian Red Books

These ancient animals are very sensitive to contaminated environment of genetically

modified plants

8

POND TURTLE

In Lithuania very rare species are included in the Red Book may be found in natural

reserves in Lazdijai and Alitus districts The Lithuanian Red Book included a number of reptiles - a

turtle pond toxic viper The reasons of declining of reptiles are deforestation fires and urbanization

SIMPLE VIPER

Simple Viper is the only poisonous snake in Lithuania It is difficult to indicate the

reasons of disappearing of Viper - Raccoon dogs which can catch them from the grass might have

contributed to their extinction

LATVIA

I NATURAL DISASTERS IN LATVIA PAST THREE YEARS

Possible natural disasters in Latvia

bull Storms

bull Snowfalls

bull Icing

bull Blizzards

bull Flooding

bull Forest and peat bog fires

bull Earthquakes (small)

Natural disasters breakdown

bull Atmospheric factors - such as fog storm hurricane typhoon heat or cold waves

bull Hydrosphere factors - such as floods avalanches dam bursts

bull Geological factors - such as earthquakes landslides volcanic eruptions

Hail

On 18th of May 2013 we had big storm with giant hail falling from sky the most of

it raged in the Eastern part of Riga reached

The size of hail 3 centimeters

10

Flooding

Plavinas flooding 2013 began on the night of 17 April 330 oclock when the water

began to flow into the city Already early in the morning it was surrounded by more than 10 private

local music schools and homes

15 Orsquoclock it reached 1350 meters above zero hydrological stations which is 240

meters above the critical flood boundaries

It was the highest water level since Pļaviņas after HES (Hydro electric stations) of

construction carried out hydrological observations The previous record was 1293 meters above the

zero station

11

Ice piles in Plavinas city was a two-stores house in height and the last year of the

reconstructed for million euros has failed to protect the city from flooding Luckily there was no

flood fatalities Vehicles and homes were damaged

Storms

Global warming these days is becoming more and more revident and autumn and

spring storms more powerful Latvia has experianced strong winds and even storms which reached

45msec in many places the strongest storms were in 1965 and 1974 Each year autumn storms

destroy large forest are4as and many ancient manor parks where are ancient large and mighty trees

On October 29 2013 there was a huge storm that was 28-32m sec and 70 000

households were left with no electricity cars were damaged tress fallen and roads were blocked

12

II ENDANGERED SPECIES IN LATVIA

Introduction

In Latvia there are 18 047 animals 5396 plants and 4000 mushroom species recorded

It is considered that 907 species or 3 3 are in endeared Our students will make a research on 3

kinds of endangered species a bird a moth and a reptile The linkage of all ecosystems is in vicious

circle if one of species disappears some other species may vanish as well

Content

bull The Europian Mursh Turtle

bull Black-Throated Diver

bull Stag beetle

The Europian mursh turtle

Emys orbicularis

13

Description

Black armor ndash olive colour brownish gray or black with yellow dots or dashes belly

light brown The tail legs and neck with yellow spots Total body length (together with the tail) can

be up to 32 cm tall

Living in lakes ponds old riverbeds channels and marshes Good flying and diving

trips long stay under water The main pond turtle enemies are foxes badgers and raccoon dogs in

digging up and devouring eggs Feed on fish amphibians aquatic invertebrates

Nearly all of Europe except the UK the Netherlands and Scandinavia as well as the Middle East

North Africa and Central Asia

Cause of extinction

Natural factors such as the relatively cold climate especially in the short and cool

summer early autumn which often make turtles hatch from eggs and predators who prey on small

turtles and are digging up the eggs

What should we do

Inform people in case finding these turtles call to the relevant authorities and let turtles breed

Black-throated Diver

Gavia arctica

14

Description

Divers can be compared to the large ducks or small geese Most divers species have black gray and

white feathers Divers are like penguins their real coat grows down below

Spring is in transit through the territory of Latvia for Black-throated Diver that stays for a winter at

the Black Sea but only a small amount come to inland waters Nests up to 5 pairs During Summer

by the sea can be seen Immature specimens whose number reaches several hundred or even a few

thousand species

Black-throated Diver can be found in the Western Palearctic and further east to the Lena River

Wintering along the northwest coast as well as the Caspian Black and Mediterranean seas

Wintering in the Pacific northwest

Cause of extinction

A bird may get tangled up in the fishing nets when the bird dives after the food into the sea

as well as because they are being shot catch and held captive

How can we help

Do not disturb the birds in their nesting period

15

(Lucanidae)

Stag beetle

Description

The English name is derived from the large and distinctive mandibles found on the

males of most species which resemble the antlers of stags There have been found only 6 species of

Stag beetles (gt1000 in the whole world) although the rarely seen Great Stag beetle (Lucanus

cervus Latvian Red list 1 category) definitely is one of the most beautiful bugs in Latvia

Great Stag beetle (Latin Lucanus cervus) mdash the biggest Stag beetle in Europe The last time it has

been spotted in Latvia was in the late 1960rsquos in Ieriķi Gauja National park It is one of the

protected species in territory of Latvia

Length Male 45 to 82 mm Female 25 to 57 mm Beetles found in different places

differ in their length Documented record of length (including antlers) is 95 mm

Beetle develops a complete transformation (development of four stages egg-

caterpillar-pupa-grown insect)

Did you know that in Poland the two zloty coin issued in series of World animals

contains the Great Stag beetle image

Cause of extinction

Adult stag beetles feed on nectar and tree juice do not catch them and allow to lay

eggs in parks and forests Beetles lay eggs on decaying wood keep decomposing trees in the

forests do not collector clean or incinerate in forests to let beetle reproduction

GREECE

I NATURAL DISASTERS IN GREECE

FIRES

30 July 2013 Fire in Rhodes with 50000 acres of forest burned

The year 2014 according to NASA and NOAA is expected to be one of the warmest

years until now In conjunction with El Nintildeo global temperatures are expected to reach record

levels

More than 10 of the Greek territory is now covered by arid and rocky areas which

to a great extent is due to a repeated cycle of fires Fires become a natural phenomenon caused by a

bolt of lightning or the ignition of a combustible or explosive material due to the temperature

increase

Wildfires are part of the ecology of forest ecosystems of our country and are a

complex phenomenon that follows the laws of nature The complete elimination of forest fires is

considered a utopia even with the most perfect Fire-resistant measures

According to the map of Global Forests in Greece more than 150000 hectares of

forest areas equivalent to 1500 square kilometers have been destroyed since 2000 This number is

overly high considering that the total area of the country is approximately 130000 square

kilometers

FLOODS

In the Greek area flooding is due to torrential rains that accompany the passage of

depressions

17

The sudden flood is the result of atmospheric disturbances accompanied by heavy

rains with large amounts of rain in a short time

The flash floods occur within a short period of a few hours or less and result in a

rapid rise of water which can cause considerable damage to structures such as buildings bridges

etc to drift cars uprooted trees and many more The floods which are caused by rainfall can

cause devastating landslides (-mud slides) as well

THE ISLAND OF RHODES

The disaster which broke in Rhodes in November 2013 caused the death of three

people Extreme weather events that occurred on the island caused damage to homes and shops

which reached 5 million Euros The heavy rains caused the overflow of streams turning streets into

rivers and for some time many areas were plunged into darkness due to power failure

PYRGOS AND ANCIENT OLYMPIA

18

5 February 2012 Unimaginable destruction caused by flood in the Municipalities of

Pyrgos and Ancient Olympia regions of Western Greece

DROUGHT AND WATER SCARCITY

4 December 2011 Drought in Western Greece The second driest month of the past

80 years was this year in November for Athens and Western Greece as revealed by the data of the

National Observatory of Athens

Drought is decreased availability of water for long periods of time and in a large

geographic area compared to the normal conditions of a region The drought is classified among

the extreme climatic events and a phenomenon that affects large areas and has long lasting effects

It takes place in an indistinct time and appears to have no periodicity If the use of water and land

resources of an area is not prudent to ensure sustainability then drought leads to desertification It is

serious natural disaster with multiple impacts on society environment and economy

35 of Greek territory is threatened by desertification due to overexploitation of land

and water resources

In the high risk group are all the islands of the Aegean much of the Peloponnese and

Crete western Central Greece Evia and certain parts of Thessaly Epirus and Thrace One third of

Greece is at a high risk of desertification or has already undergone desertification while half of

Greece is in moderate risk of desertification

Conclusion

All the disasters mentioned above are due to climate change and extreme weather

conditions Climate change will cause widespread damage to populations ecosystems and

resources as well as to infrastructure and living conditions ranging from an increase in mortality

and disease linked to changes in temperature damage caused by more frequent flooding and a rise

19

in sea level increasing desertification in Southern countries and scarcer fresh water resources The

battle against climate change can only be won through global action International negotiations must

move beyond rhetoric towards negotiations on concrete commitments

II ENDANGERED ANIMALS AND NATURAL DISASTERS IN GREECE

ANIMALS

BROWN BEAR

URSUS ARCTOS

Summary The Brown Bear (Ursus arctos L) range in Greece consists of two geographically

distinct populations located in Pindos mountain range (NW Greece) and Rodopi mountain complex

(NE Greece) The total area of continuous bear range is 13500 km2 The Pindos population

encompasses two regional sub-population units one close to the Albanian and FYROM border and

a larger one in the main trunk of Pindos range During the last 15 years Brown Bear populations in

Pindos exhibit a clear trend of expansion towards the eastern and southern parts of the species

former range forming at least two meta-populations in Voras and South Pindos mts Population

size is estimated between 190-260 individuals and appears generally stabilized Core habitat

consists of natural broadleaved coniferous and mixed forests Known losses due to poaching reach

7 of the average estimated population Forest fires poaching over-logging poisoned baits and

development of large infrastructure (ie highways dams) are among the major threats upon the

species Bear-human conflicts need systematic monitoring and tackling through compensation and

preventive measures whereas the National Bear Action Plan remains to be validated and enforced

The species is considered Endangered

20

Existing Conservation measures the brown bear is a totally protected species under

national legislation It is also included in Annex II of the Bern Convention as a species under strict

protection while its trade is prohibited under the CITES Convention

Conservation measures requested

- Information campaigns to persuade local producers to reduce deliberate

extermination

- Stringent environmental control in infrastructure projects affecting the habitat

- Stricter supervision of allocation areas to combat poaching and forest fires

- Creation of special emergency groups (bear emergency teams) with appropriately trained

personnel from forest or other services

WOLF

CANIS LUPUS

Summary The Wolf in Greece is still considered as a vulnerable species

Approximately 600 wolves inhabit a variety of habitats in semi-mountainous and mountainous

areas Distribution exceeds 45000 km2 Livestock still encompass the major food source for the

species due to low wild ungulate abundance Major threats include human caused mortality

21

combined with continuous reduction of food availability (free ranging livestock) and ongoing

habitat fragmentation due to the construction of closed highways

Threats anthropogenic mortality reduced food availability throughout the

distribution range of the species due to the reduction of extensive livestock production combined

with relatively low densities of wild ungulates and fragmentation of habitat from the construction of

major roads and other transport infrastructure

Existing Conservation measures a great number of Greek populations of wolves are

included in Annexes II V and IV of the Habitats Directive (9243EEC) The protection of habitat

in accordance with the Berne Convention (Annex II) is also required while international trade of

individuals of this species is strictly controlled under the CITES Convention

Necessary conservation measures

Increase of the availability of natural prey of wolves (wild ungulates) both in number of species

and in numbers

Measures restricting the geographical isolation due to construction of roads

Maintenance and intensification of traditional methods of keeping herds

THE LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLE

CARETTA CARETTA

The turtle Caretta - Caretta is a reptile that is biologically adapted to the marine

environment

It is the only sea turtle species in the Mediterranean that breeds in Greece We meet

them in Zakynthos Crete Rhodes and the Peloponnese

It lays its eggs in the sand After growing up females return to their own birthplace to

lay their eggs This usually happens during the summer months Newborn turtles about 100 in each

22

nest have a length of 5 cm and weigh 17 grams Once hatched (2 months after birth) they climb on

the sand together and run to the sea immediately

The development of tourism has put them in danger of losing the quiet nesting beaches

in the Mediterranean

Another reason for their loss is that people use the turtles for food They hunt them

for their meat or to make turtle soup Their fat is used for making soaps and cosmetics Also from

their shells they make combs brushes eyeglass frames buttons and even jewelry This material is

called tortoise shell From their skin they make purses or shoes

Untended fishing gear is also responsible for many loggerhead deaths Turtles may

suffocate if they are trapped in fishing trawls Turtle excluder devices (TEDs) have been

implemented in efforts to reduce mortality by providing the turtle an escape route In particular sea

turtles can be caught when bottom trawling is used by the commercial shrimp fishing industry In

order to catch shrimp a fine meshed trawl net is needed This results in large amounts of other

marine organisms being also caught as bycatch When a turtle gets caught or entangled in a trawl

net it becomes trapped and is unable to return to the surface

Since sea turtles are air-breathing creatures with lungs they eventually drown

Loggerheads are considered an endangered species and are protected by the International Union

for the Conservation of Nature


All nesting beaches should be protected by law and touristic development should be

prohibited in these areas

All artificial lighting visible from the beach should be eliminated so that turtles donrsquot

get discouraged from nesting on the beach

There should be cooperation with local fishermen and strict measures so that fishing

does not entail risks for mortality among turtles

People should reduce the amount of garbage they produce and clean up trash they see

on the beach Sea turtles can become tangled in plastic and trash both on the shore and in the water

Discarded items such as fishing lines balloons and plastic bags may also be confused for food and

eaten by sea turtles often resulting in injury or death

Conclusion

All endangered species suffer from anthropogenic factors There should be strict

legislation for the protection of their habitats and the prohibition of their trade There should be

protection on international levels as well

Comenius Team



This sentence describes well our Comenius Team At first we started as a few teachers and students

with a title for our project ldquoSustainable Development ndash A Green Future for Europerdquo We had to

think what this means objectives aim and activities of the project So we decided to stay and work

together as a team And this teamwork is really successful because we have results we realized that

information and prevention is the best strategy in changing our way of thinking regarding global

warming energy saving endangered species and natural diseasters

That is why our Comenius Project is so important All the activities that took place

emphasised on the importance of being a responsable nature loving citizens Through this project

we have the chance to inform students parents teachers and simple people of our comunity and

also to involve them in taking steps which can limit the consequnces of pollution and natural

disasters consequences that affect us the nature and the future genarations

Floods

Romania is known as one of the most flood-prone countries in Europe The 1970

floods in Romania brought on by river swelling caused by torrential rains high winds and a heat

wave that melted snow in the Carpathian Mountains were the worst in modern Romanian history in

loss of life In 2012 the extreme floods in May were among the most devastating natural disasters

from recent Romanian climate history The extent of the damage and the number of evacuated

people surpassed by far the floods of 1970 one of the worst floods that hit Romania Romanian

officials ordered the controlled flooding of thousands of hectares of unused agricultural spaces to

prevent further damage in cities across Romania Deva was heavily flooded in 1926 and 1970 when

the river Mures burst its banks and caused major damage to buildings and roads and even loss of

life

Some of the main factors enhancing naturersquos protest against global warming are

poor sewage within the towns illegal deforestation of hills or mountain slopes dirty river banks

lack of citizensrsquo education and responsibility slow communication between different authorities

absence of specialized equipment and in some cases political or economical interests Romanian

authorities having in mind the floods in 2005 and 2006 try to prevent these disasters or to mitigate

their effects but up to now there has been a big gap between theory and practice mainly because of

the complexity of the actions to be taken which require time and money

25

Landslides

Landslides represent a common geomorphic hazard in Romania threatening property

and infrastructure mainly in the Carpathian Mountains and hilly regions which account for more

than 60 of the territory In this regard Romania represents one of the countries most affected by

landslides in Europe Landslides are often associated with other major natural hazards such as flood

and earthquake Although in Romania the number of human victims of this natural hazard is very

low landslide causes substantial damage to human property in affected regions An increase in

landslide frequency and magnitude has been observed in recent years related to extreme rainfall

resulting from climate change

Earthquakes

26

The worst earthquake in Romania took place in 1977 Vrancea and affected the entire

country including part of Bulgaria and was felt throughout the Balkans It had a magnitude of 72

with an epicenter in Vrancea County the most active seismic area in Romania in the Eastern

Carpathians at a depth of 94 kilometers The earthquake killed about 1578 people (1424 in

Bucharest) and wounded more than 11300 About 35000 buildings were damaged and the total

damage was estimated at more than 2 billion dollars Most of the damage was concentrated in the

capital where about 33 large buildings collapsed Most of those buildings were built before World

War II and were not reinforced

In September 2013 an earthquake with a magnitude of 41 with the epicenter in an

area of 5 km from Hateg shook Hunedoara County It was followed by an aftershock with a

magnitude of 47 Its effects were felt by the surrounding towns and villages including Deva ndash 32

km from its epicenter There were no victims or damage of buildings or infrastructure reported

During the last 1000 years according to historical data it is thought that 17

earthquakes with 7 and over magnitude have occurred which suggests a mean for unleashing the

energy of every 58 years Statistically the magnitude 6 and over earthquakes in the Vrancea area

occur approximately every 10 years magnitude 7 every 33 years while those with 75 magnitude

every 80 years

I ENDANGERED ANIMALS IN ROMANIA

The Europian Bison - Bison bonasus

The European bison is the heaviest surviving wild land animal in Europe a typical European bison

is about 21 to 35 m (7 to 10 ft) long not counting a tail of 30 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) long and 16

to 2 m (5 to 7 ft) tall At birth calves are quite small weighing between 15 and 35 kg (33 and

77 lb) In the free-ranging population of the Białowieża Forest of Belarus and Poland body masses

among adults (aged 6 and over) are 634 kg (1398 lb) on average in the cases of males with a range

of 436 to 840 kg (961 to 1852 lb) and of 424 kg (935 lb) among females with a range of 340 to

540 kg (750 to 1190 lb)[2]

An occasional big bull European bison can weigh up to 1000 kg

(2200 lb) or more On average it is slightly lighter in body mass and yet taller at the shoulder than

the American bison (Bison bison) Compared to the American species the wisent has shorter hair

on the neck head and forequarters but longer tail and horns

The Aspinall Foundation working in collaboration with four animal parks in the UK and Ireland

has successfully translocated six European bison to the wild in Romania as part of a conservation

effort to save Europersquos largest land mammal from extinction

In Western Europe the European bison disappeared in the 19th

century In Moldavia the last bison

was killed in 1762 and in Transylvania in 1790 The last wild European bison was killed in Poland

in 1919 The last wild European bison in the world was killed by poachers in 1927 in the western

Caucasus By that year fewer than 50 remained all held by zoos With the advance of agriculture

vast tracts of the European bisons habitat were lost and their range became massively restricted

29

These animals were also persecuted by hunting and in 1927 the species finally became Extinct in

the Wild

The European bison is a herd animal which lives in both mixed and solely male

groups Mixed groups consist of adult females calves young aged 2ndash3 years and young adult

bulls The average herd size is dependent on environmental factors though on average they number

8-13 animals per herd

Beginning in 1951 European bison have been reintroduced into the wild Free-ranging

herds are currently found in Poland Lithuania Belarus Ukraine Romania Russia Slovakia

Latvia Kyrgyzstan and Germany and in forest preserves in the Western Caucasus

On 23rd

April 2014 six female captive-bred bison from Port Lympne and Howletts

Wild Animal Parks (Kent) Highland Wildlife Park (Inverness-shire) and Fota Wildlife Park (Cork)

were transported to the Vanatori Neamt Nature Park in Romania There the bison will be monitored

using radio-collars and will join an existing herd of European bison who were introduced into the

park from captive populations in Germany Sweden and Switzerland

Romania has now almost 70 European bisons on its territory

The Carpathian Chamois - Rupicapra rupicapra

The chamois is a goat-antelope species native to mountains in Europe including the

Carpathian Mountains of Romania the Pyrenees the European Alps the Tatra Mountains the

Balkans parts of Turkey and the Caucasus

The chamois is a mid-sized bovid A fully grown chamois reaches a height of 70ndash

80 cm (28ndash31 in) and measures 107ndash137 cm (42ndash54 in) (the tail is not generally visible except

when defecating) Males which weigh 30ndash60 kg (66ndash132 lb) are slightly larger than females

which weigh 25ndash45 kg (55ndash99 lb) Both males and females have short straightish horns which are

hooked backwards near the tip the horn of the male being thicker In summer the fur has a rich

brown color which turns to a light grey in winter Distinct characteristics are white contrasting

30

marks on the sides of the head with pronounced black stripes below the eyes a white rump and a

black stripe along the back

They live at moderately high altitudes and are adapted to living in precipitous rugged rocky

terrain They can be found at elevations of at least 2500 m

As their meat is considered tasty chamois are popular game animals Chamois leather traditionally

made from the hide of the chamois is very smooth and absorbent and is favoured in cleaning

buffing and polishing because it produces no scratching Poaching remains a threat to many

populations particularly outside of protected areas

The Western Capercaillie - Tetrao urogallus

Male and female western capercailliemdashthe cocks and the hensmdashcan easily be

differentiated by their size and colouration The male bird (or cock) is much bigger than the female

(or hen) Both sexes have a white spot on the wing bow They have feathered legs especially in the

cold season for protection against cold Their toe rows of small elongated horn tacks provide a

snowshoe effect that led to the German family name Rauhfuszlighuumlhner literally translated as rough

feet chickens

These so-called courting tacks make a clear track in the snow in winter Both sexes

can be distinguished very easily by the size of their footprints

There is a bright red spot of naked skin above each eye In German hunters language

these are the so-called roses

31

The small chicks resemble the hen in their cryptic colouration which is a passive

protection against predators Additionally they wear black crown feathers At an age of about three

months in late summer they moult gradually towards the adult plumage of cocks and hens The

eggs are about the same size and form as chicken eggs but are more speckled with brown spots

It is a rare bird which lives in Piatra Craiului National Park It is the biggest pine needle consumer

and at the same time is the biggest game bird in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania It is a non-

migratory bird which moves to another place just to look for its favorite food

The main threats to the capercaillie are thought to be loss of habitat through

overgrazing by sheep and deer predation and collisions with deer fences Over-shooting may also

be a contributing factor and a succession of poor summers has affected the number of chicks

surviving infancy

Climate change is another threat for capercaillie population The fluctuation over both

the short and long term could have a significant impact as chick survival is highly dependent on

weather conditions A succession of years with wet and cold conditions can lead to serious

population declines The habitat of the species may also be affected in the longer term by climate

change

The capercaillie population has declined so rapidly that it is at very real risk of

extinction and is a Red List species

PORTUGAL

I NATURAL DISASTERS IN POTUGAL

Portugal is a small country located in the southwestern corner of Europe We are in a

very special position in our continent in a crossroad between different environments Culturally

we share common values and heritage with our European partners particularly Spain (our big

neighbor to the East and North But we also have a very big historical influence from North Africa

But by far the biggest influence in our culture and our environment has been our western neighbor

the Atlantic Ocean

Our climate is blessed by the Atlantic

giving us mild winters But the ocean is a friend to

be aware of The sea has given us our livelihood

allowed us to go everywhere in the world but has

also brought tragedy ldquoOh salty sea How much is

your salt Comes from the tears of Portugalrdquo is a

very famous poem by Fernando Pessoa and brings

us back to the age of discoveries when thousands of Portuguese men and women would sail to

America and Asia and many not to return again

Today the sea is also the source of some natural disasters that have affected us In the last winter

several Atlantic Storms created large waves that hit our coast and caused extensive damage in the

coastal areas and als o caused massive erosion as you will be able to see in our presentations

We will also talk about a storm that happened in the island of Madeira with torrential

rains that caused disastrous mudslides that killed more than 50 persons in 2010

Both these events are examples of natural occurring

extreme phenomenae that are becoming more and

more frequent because of climate change We believe

that the only way to stop this climate change is through

behavioural change and this happens through

education I think that our project is a small step to

achieve this goal It is with many of these small steps

that change will occur

33

II ENDANGERED ANIMALS IN PORTUGAL

We also have problems more local to our country Destruction and fragmentation of

natural habitats overfishing and other human influences bring a stress into several species

particularly of large vertebrates In our presentation we will talk about three of them

The Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus)

The Iberian Imperial Eagle (Aquila Adalberti)

Mediterranean Monk Seal or Sea Wolf (Monachus monachus)

The Iberian Lynx only occurs

naturally and historically in small regions of

Portugal in Spain It is listed as Critically

Endangered and is the rarest species of cat in the

world It is currently extinct in Portugal and there

are only two populations that are reproducing in

Spain (in Donantildea and Anduacutejar-Cardentildea) with an

estimate of only 150 adult individuals There is a joint programme between Spanish and

Portuguese authorities to promote reproduction in captivity and the reintroduction of the Lynx in

protected areas in the south of Portugal It is very vulnerable to destruction of habitat by forest

fires and diseases that have targeted the Lynxrsquos natural prey (rabbits and hares)

The Imp erial Eagle is a bird of prey exclusive to the western Mediterranean and it

worldwide population is about 230 couples with 3 to 5

living in Portugal This species is the target of several

conservation efforts that have allowed it to recover from

less than 100 couples in 1995 Its prefered habitat is the

Cork Oak Forest and this habitat is very fragmented and

this causes challenges to the recovery of this species

Also its main prey wild rabbits have been hit very hard

by diseases in the last decades

34

Finally the Sea Wolf has once been ubiquitous in all of the Mediterranean Sea and

in the Atlantic coasts and islands near the straits of

Gibraltar Today they have become very rare with only

450 individuals worldwide of which 23 live in the

Deserted Islands a small archipelago about 25 km south

of Madeira Island They have been hunted to the brink of

extinction in the past and are put in danger by

overfishing depleting their food source and the danger

of being caught in fishermenrsquos nets No fishing areas have been established in Madeira and also in

other clusters of Monk Seals population in the Sporades and Karpathos islands in Greece the

Turkish Mediterranean coast and Cabo Blanco in the western Saara There are also conservation

facilities that rescue and rehabilitate ophan and injured seals

NATURAL DISASTERS AND ENDANGERED ANIMALS`SPECIES

IN SPAIN

I NATURAL DISASTERS IN SPAIN DUE TO HUMAN ACTION

ANIMAL TRAFFIC

INTRODUCTION

It is the third biggest bussines in the world after drugs and weapons and it is one of

the main causes of the biodiversity loss in our planet

This trade generates 17 billions dolars anually

The traders offer

- live animals to use them as pets

- mounted animals as curiosities or award

- leather to make clothes

36

RESCUE ANIMALS

The majority of animals received in reception and rehabilitation centres arrive in

unhealthy conditions because of nutrition or hydration fault the inadecuate transport the mix of

species in the same jail

The autorities only can choose one of these three solutions

-The euthanasia

-The remittance to some zoos or theme parks

-The joining to a rehabilitation process for a later liberation to its natural habitat

CONSEQUENCES

The animal traffic is a direct threat against the harmony of the natural ecosystems of

the country It is so serious that it is the second reason of the extinction after the loss of its habitat

Many people end up leaving these animals in habitats that donacutet belong to them and

cause a competition between foreign and native species

HOW DID EVERYTHING START

Many people think that the illegal trade of animals is responsability of mafias but

considering percentages a 10 is zoologicals fault a 25 collectors and lovers a 30

biomedical studies Only a 35 is due to mafias

SOLUTIONS

bull Donacutet buy any animals Even if it is out of pity in one attempt to save them weacutere deeping into

the problem

bull Donacutet consume eggs or meat from wild animals

bull Make aware your family and friends

bull Report sellers of wild animals on roads or in pet shops

37

THE PRESTIGE

INTRODUCTION

The oil tanker Prestige had an accident in 2002 causing a spill of 77000 tonnes that

covered the Galician coasts of chapapote The vessel was sailing near Finisterre when it had the

accident The spill has become the third most expensive environmental accident in history which

cost 12000 million dollars

From our Centre we develop some didactic trips one of them is The Ecological Path to Tajo river

In this route we can observe some foreign species

41

OPUNTIA TUNICATA AMERICAN ALOE

CONSEQUENCES

The introduction of these species has as primordial consequence the loss of the

autochthonous biodiversity There are foreign species that impede the development of the

RISKS

42

II ENDANGERED ANIMALS IN SPAIN

STAG BEETLE

bull It is the biggest beetle in Europe

bull Maleacutes size can rise 10 centimetres including its pincers

bull Females can reach 5 centimetres long

Despite its robust jaws the stag beetle its completely harmless and it feeds on

vegetables Its ldquohornsrdquo that only males have are used in figths against other males to get the

females

The females lay their eggs in holes made in trees The eclosion takes part in a period

of time of about two to four weeks after the egg- laying

THE REASON OF THE ENDANGER

As the larvs of this beetle last a long time to raise they become extremely vulnerable

to the trees cleanliness and the parks and gardens pruning Specially the tidiness of dead wood

This is believed to be the main reason why this amazing beetle seems to be disapearing

43

A threat can also be its capture for the trade

GRAELSIA ISABELAE

The most spread type of nocturn butterflies in Europe is the isabelae butterfly

Despite its tropical appearing it only and exclusively lives in some alpine forests in Spain and

France

Most time of the year they are hard to see because they usually hide above the top of

the trees but in May during the reproduction season males run long distances at nigth to localize

a female being lead because of its smell


It was endangered because of the fumigation of pine woods some years ago

The phytosanitaries treatments to figth the processionary caterpillar are one of the

main causes of their mortality

RIVER CRAB

44

The river crabs are ten legged crustacean that live in fresh water They breath by gills

that look like feathers and they are found in rivers that do not get frozen being plentiful where

they can hide of predators The majority of the crayfish do not tolerate polluted water except some

types like Procambarus clarkii that are tougher They feed of animals and living and dead plants


The common crayfish laquoAustropotamobius pallipesraquo is a fresh water crustacean very

common in Aragoacuten until the end of the 70acutes of the past century The extincion that has been

happening since then is because of the ldquocrab plaguerdquo epidemic and the loss of the habitats the

pollution and the introduction of exotic species
