The LIFE FALKON is pleased to announce the participation at the The Nature Of Cities Festival, an international virtual festival that spans 3 days with programming gathering a huge variety of high level stakeholders around the international debate of the future of sustainable cities.
Specifically, the LIFE FALKON organized two interesting workshops on the 30th and 31st of March 2022.
“WINGED CITIES 1: Birds and the challenges of urban life”
30 March 2022 | 11.00 – 12.30 CET Room NORTH-04 Humans and birds have always lived together. However, if some species are wonderfully adapted to urban life, this also exposes them to pollution and other problems. Starting from the lesser kestrel case, this workshop will shed light on the challenges of urban life that birds are exposed to together with a set of world-recognized experts on the topic.
“WINGED CITIES 2: Practical issues for bird-friendly cities”

As an examples: Juan Josè Negro from CSIC-EBD, Davide Dominoni from University of Glasgow, Dan Chamberlain from Turin University, Michelangelo Morganti from CNR-IRSA and Nikos Tsiopelas, Roula Trigou and Martin Gaetlich from Hellenic Ornithological Society.
