SE Region timber enterprise. April 1 – the international day of the birds.

Every year, on April 1, mankind celebrates International Day of birds. He leads his countdown of the year 1906 when, on April 1, was signed the International Convention for the protection of birds. At this time the event is held in the framework of the UNESCO “man and the biosphere”, the aim of the promotion is to pay attention to humanity at the avian Kingdom, their species preservation in the face of a significant impact on natural ecosystems due to human activity. Now science knows about 10700 kinds of living birds, but each year their number decreases.

Protection, assistance to increase the number and range of natural habitat of the endangered bird species relevant to all countries of the world. Not standing aside these problems and Ukraine, in our country there are 360 species of birds, of which 87 species are listed in the Red Book as endangered and protected by the State. In the nesting of the endangered populations of birds are nature reserves and other special conservation area. Active work with the protection and preservation of the registered species on its territory entity conducts Deržìsagenstvo of Ukraine in General and its forestry enterprises in particular. So point 5 “regulations in the forests of Ukraine” prohibited the implementation of measures to improve the sanitary condition of the forests around the nesting of birds listed in the Red Book of Ukraine within the defined security zones. This requirement is introduced to minimize the factor of anxiety for rare birds and prevent changes in the natural habitats of these species. On the territory of the State Enterprise “Makarìvske forest” is also a breed of such rare species as the Black Stork (Zabuânske, Nìžilovicke and Komarìvske forestry) and crane (Zabuânske and Komarìvske forestry). Areas of forest where nests are found rare birds are highlighted as particularly protective of the special order of the company, around them, in the same order, corresponding to the radii of the security zones where limited lìsogospodarska activities in full compliance the requirements of the regulations.

At this time, the bird is not only a formal commemoration of the anniversary of the Convention, and the first feast of the arrival of the birds with the warm lands, a celebration of the onset of genuine, not the calendar, spring, time of onset of heat, Sun and smiles. By tradition, at this time, people hang new birdhouses and siničniki, repaired, damaged winter troubles already existing bird houses. Do not remain on the sidelines of this case lìsìvniki makariv and our young colleagues, members of the Nìžilovickogo and Komarìvskogo student lìsnictv. Every spring students before returning birds prepare them gift hang new bird homes who sew in school workshops during the winter. In the late autumn of patrons – lìsìvniki provide educational institutions pilomaterìalami, and students on the lessons of labour studies made birdhouses.

More than two hundred špakìven and siničnikìv will be hanging outside on the fringes around the villages of Nìžilovičì and Komarivka young prirodolûbami with the assistance of the local forest protection training, and work with their production is almost finished.
