Intergenerational meeting to build shelters for wild native animals
Recently, Associação BioLiving promoted an environmental volunteering activity, aiming to involve different generations in wildlife conservation in Estarreja, Portugal
Human pressure on natural ecosystems has been causing the loss of habitats, so it is important that we try to make up for that. Together, this group built shelters for bats, birds, and even bug hotels that were later positioned along the association’s natural reserves Lusitanica
It was a great opportunity to exchange knowledge and skills between the elderly (empirical and more practical skills of how to use tools) and the youngsters (scientific and technical knowledge of biology and ecology).
