An essential condition of success is to engage more visitors to touristic attractions related to this topic. We build a rescue center and demonstration facilities in Budapest, where professionals medicate, keep and display more than one thousand indivi duals of protected bird, small mammal and reptile species in a year, and these animals are in high interest by the visitors. Infrastructures are an educational trail, called “Bottomland forest”, as well as breeding facilities for reptiles and aviarie s for birds in Kosice. Through joint marketing actions, we develop know-how on the role of innovative solutions in analysing and attracting visitors with education purpose, and develop educational game through mobile application for youth, educationa l program for public through digital informational board and educational documentary film. We organize professional workshops, webinars, international conferences, and electronical compilation to build professional capacities both in rescue work, edu cation and marketing. We deliver exchange of experience to form long-term, non-formal organizational network of organizations and institutions active in the field of protection of nature and environment. Based on the new attractions, new capacities a nd findings of the project, direct marketing actions will be delivered to support quality tourism in borderline area of our two neighbouring states, resulting in attracting more than ten thousand new visitors.
Read more Description (SK): Cieľom projektu “Slovakian and Hungarian Zoos for the Conservation of Native Fauna along the border regions” sktrátený názov “ZOO for NAT” je podporiť rozvoj turistického ruchu formou zvýšenia povedomia verejnosti o ochrane prírodných hodnôt s dôrazom na chránené druhy živočíchov žijúce v regiónoch spoločných pohraničných oblastí. Význam spolupráce spočíva aj v výmene skúseností pri zachovávaní biodiverzity a zveľaďovaní európskeho prírodného dedičstva. Stupeň poznania v rámci obidvoch inštitúcií bude základom pre kvalitatívny posun vo zvyšovaní povedomia verejnosti k nutnosti ochrany prírody. Prostredníctvom realizácie aktivít ako je materiálno - technická pomoc, ktorá zahrňa vybudovanie náučného chodníka s názvom Lužný les, chovných zariadení pre plazy, voliéry pre vtáky a aktivity vzdelávania v Košiciach , vybudovanie záchrannej stanice a demonštračných zariadení v Budapešti, kde odborníci budú liečiť, udržiavať a prezentovať viac ako jeden tisíc jedincov chránených vtákov, malých cicavcov a plazov ročne pre návštevníkov zoologických záhrad. Podporu rozvoja cestovného ruchu v našich dvoch susediacich štátoch budeme realizovať informovaním verejnosti v Maďarsku a na Slovensku prostredníctvom letákov, natočením a distribúciou marketingovej upútavky o Košiciach, Národných parkoch v Košickom kraji a Zoo Košice, priťahuje viac ako desať tisíc nových návštevníkov.
Read more Description (HU): Szlovák és magyar partnerek összefogtak, hogy építve kiegészítő tudásbázisukra a védett állatfajok megmentése terén, tudatosságnövelő tevékenységet végezzenek a természet és környezetvédelem területén, fókuszálva a határ menti területeken élő védett állatfajok mentésére. A tevékenység alapfeltétele a turisztikai attrakciók több, a témában elkötelezett látogatót vonzanak. Látvány- mentőközpontot alakítunk ki és a mentőmunkát bemutató kiállítást hozunk létre Budapesten, ahol az állatkert szakértői évente több, mint 1000 védett madarat, kisemlőst, hüllőt képesek kezelni, ápolni és bemutatni. Ezek az állatok a látogatók magasfokú érdeklődésére tartanak számot. Kassán az úgynevezett „Bottomland forest” oktatási jellegű tanösvény mellett hüllők tenyésztésére alkalmas létesítmény valamint madárröpdék épülnek. A projektben közös marketing tevékenységek segítségével közös tudásbázist hozunk létre, elemezzük az innovatív megoldások szerepét a látogatószám növelése szempontjából, fiatalok számára oktató jellegű mobil applikációt fejlesztünk, oktatófilmet valamint digitális információs táblát készítünk a látogatók számára. A mentési munka, az oktatás és marketing területén szakmai workshopokat, webinárokat, nemzetközi konferenciákat szervezünk, elektronikus könyvet hozunk létre. A természet és környezetvédelem területén aktív szervezetekkel tapasztalatcseréket szervezünk. A projektben létrejövő új tudásra, következtetésekre és az új látnivalókra alapozva a két határ menti megyében a minőségi turizmus támogatására direkt marketingakciókat szervezünk, több mint 10.000 új látogató idevonzásával. .
Read more Achievements (EN): The Sünispotály aids the animal rescue work with its improved capacity and better possibilities. In the interest of these, there is an exhibition with interactive elements in the auditorium of the demonstration center, showing the results of the wild animal rescue efforts, and the reasons why the animals end up in the rescue center. While watching the constantly running, brief documentaries, the audience can enjoy the experience of letting the rehabilitated animals loose. Furthermore, the caretakers deliver lectures with live demonstrations of their rescue work.
The Sünispotály is not just a simple hospital for the rescued animals, it is a complex rehabilitating institution, where all stages and tasks of the animal rescue can be taken care of, from getting into the institution to the release of the animals into the wild.
On June 1, 2019, there were three demonstration aviaries of this kind established in the Kassa Zoo. These are primarily for displaying the rescued animals that cannot be released into the wild again. In cases where the animal is unable to live in the nature without help, it is part of the rescue work to take care of the animal until the end of its life, which also presents an opportunity for the audience to get to know the native species rescuers most often meet during their rescue work. There is a forest study trail available, which was established on the grounds of the natural alder forest of the Zoo. This exhibition complex serves the introduction of the local, native wildlife.
The aviaries include a modern information system as well, which informs the visitors about the biology of the species and about the rescue work.
This project opened the possibility for the Budapest Zoological and Botanical Garden to obtain veterinary and diagnostic equipment for the rescue work performed by the institution, for example mobile ultrasound equipment and a new transport vehicle for the transportation tasks within the scope of the rescue work.
In the case of both zoos, information systems and expressive educational interfaces with interactive elements have been introduced. An education plan has also been introduced as part of the project. The Sünispotály, as well as the educational possibilities offered by it, became parts of the set of educational programs offered by the Zoo, too.
A mobile exhibition was also introduced in connection with the events, giving us the possibility to show the rescue work and the ZOO4NAT project, which serves the purpose of its improvement, to even more people, by means of its materials being exhibited at the venues of the events.
Our international wild animal rescue conference was organized between May 27th and 29th, 2019, and several prominent professionals with an international reputation took part in it.
Workshops, field trips and webinars were also organized as part of the project.
