Initiated by 'Dora Gabe' Kindergarten - Shabla and as part of a project funded by the PUDOOS 'Green Outdoor Classroom,' with the support of the Shabla Municipality and the 'Green Balkans,' association on August 28th, the little ones from 'Dora Gabe' Kindergarten had the opportunity to learn about the inhabitants of Shabla Lake and Durankulak Lake, specifically the globally endangered Red-Breasted goose. With the help of the story 'The Adventures of Brent the Red-Breasted Goose,' presented by the ecologist from Shabla Municipality - Galya Kamberova, and the Chief Expert in Education, Neli Raycheva, the kindergarten children 'flew' the distance of 6,000 km between the Siberian tundra, where the geese nest and raise their young during the summer, and Bulgaria, where they spend the winter, feeding in the grain fields of Dobrudzha and resting in the waters of Shabla and Durankulak Lakes. The children gained knowledge about the dangers of this long migration route and the efforts that conservationists make to protect these rare birds. They were also shown two short films on the same topic. At the end of the event, each child received the book 'The Adventures of Brent the Red-Breasted Goose' as a gift, kindly provided by the 'Green Balkans' association.
We would like to thank Theodora Valchanova - director, and the teachers Siyana Vasileva, Elena Dimitrova, and Daniela Dimova from Kindergarten 'Dora Gabe,' Galya Kamberova, the ecologist from Shabla Municipality, and Neli Raycheva, Chief Expert in Education at Shabla Municipality, for providing the information and photos from the organized informational event for the children!!!
