11th May- Seminar on Migratory Birds of Yamuna

"Mersi" is the name of bird watching activities that are commonly scheduled by BIONIC (Biology UNY Ornithology Club). The word “Mersi” represents an acronym of the Javanese word “Mersani Peksi”, which means to watch birds. Activity "Mersi" has taken place for 3 years running, but in this year (2008), it is carried out as an exhibition or expo event to touch broader scope of people.

We are planning activities connected to the protection of migratory waterbirds throughout Georgia. For this purpose we aim to contact Georgian schools (through the Ministry of Education) and organize activities such as children's art exhibitions and concerts. Meanwhile we are going to announce a competition for the best Georgian (unfortunately we do not have sufficient sources to invite international participants) song on the subject of the protection of migratory birds.
