Ring marking project
The birds are an important environmental indicator and the main purpose of ring marking is to obtain scientific data about the birds and the environment they live in. Through ring marking, knowledge is obtained that contributes to a sensible conservation and management policy for the birds.
At the Wetlands Center’s annual open day in May, you can experience practical ring marking. The birds face continuous pressure linked to land changes, environmental pollution and climate change. Ring marking helps to be a tool that tells us something about how different bird species respond to different influencing factors. It provides a basis for being able to map challenges and to make arrangements for birds in connection with this.
