Programme activities were carried out on 14 and 15 May 2011. Departments of environment and nature in municipalities and the City of Skopje were proponents of the activities on Saturday and Sunday. Activities on local level were organized in protected areas, regional parks, pick-nick sites, by rivers, accumulations, lakes and wetlands.
Volunteers of non-governmental organizations distributed to visitor’s information materials (brochures, posters) with relevant information on migratory birds, especially species threatened at global, regional and local levels.
Ecological activities were the most massive in tree natural lakes Ohrid, Prespa and Doiran, Vardar Walleye and the Skopje region (REC Treska-Saraj and NM Canyon Matka).
Teams of ecologists-volunteers visited important ornithological sites and organized jointly education for young visitors and recreationalists.
On Sunday afternoon (at 14:00 hours), all groups of ecologists-volunteers gathered together in the City Park in Skopje (plateau by the small lakes) and socialized with citizens and recreationalists.
Outside points were erected at which materials of UNEP/CMS, AEWA, CBD, RCW, BC/CE and MEPP were distributed. Messages by young people to the competent authorities concerned strengthening of the capacity and allocation of more financial resources for the purposes of the implementation of programmes and projects for conservation of the key ecosystems and endangered wild species in the Republic of Macedonia, especially important international wetlands and migratory water-birds species.
