We have applied for Leonardo Mobility funding for our visits to Hungary and Romania, and these will be primarily for graduates in biological or ecological science subjects who are currently unemployed, or employed in fields other than conservation or ecology.
We shall also be applying for Leonardo da Vinci and Grundtvig funding to continue our partnerships with the LPO in La Brenne, central France; the NGO Daphne and the Town Council in Ždánice in the Czech Republic; Aggtelek National Park in eastern Hungary; the NGOs ETNA and CMoK in Poland; and our partners in the Picos de Europa in northern Spain.

I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity to experience nature at its very best.
