| ABP annual meeting at the Institute of Landscape Ecology in Münster, Germany © Arend Heim |
Our last project meeting in Münster on the 15th of December broke
all records: a broad range of topics, spanning a geographical area from the Kola
Peninsula in the west to Kamchatka in the east, and from the Arctic tundra in
the north to Azerbaijan and Georgia in the south, attracted around 80 (!)
participants. Many thanks to all speakers, helpers and visitors for fruitful
discussions and a very nice day of Palaearctic ornithology! The full program can be found here.
Unser diesjähriges Projekttreffen am 15. Dezember hat alle Rekorde
gebrochen: ein breites Themenspektrum, von der Kola-Halbinsel im Westen bis
nach Kamtschatka im Osten, und von der arktischen Tundra im Norden bis nach
Aserbaidschan und Georgien im Süden, zog um die 80 (!) Teilnehmer am vergangenen
Samstag nach Münster. Vielen Dank an alle Vortragenden, Helfer*innen und
Besucher*innen für einen ebenso lehrreichen wie unterhaltsamen Tag im Zeichen
der paläarktischen Ornithologie. Das Programm kann hier eingesehen werden.
