Creating islands for rare terns and gulls

European rivers t have lost their natural features such as islands and shingle banks as well as their dynamic river bed.  To provide substitute habitats for birds (particularly gulls and terns),  a partnership project “Strengthening the role of waterbodies in Górażdże Group mining sites for conservation of island-breeding birds” was formed between the Polish Society for the Protection of Birds and the Górażdże Group. It’s proving to be highly successful.
