The biospeleology seminar of the Hellenic Speleological Society (from 20:30 to 22:40) was successfully completed yesterday evening and was attended by 18 cave trainees and 10 other members of the HSC.
LIFE GRECABAT becomes multilingual by speaking 4 different languages and reaching more people all around the world and especially countries of the Mediterranean basin. To achieve that aim, the fairy tale and selected parts of the educational kit were translated in English, French, Spanish and Arabic.
LIFE GRECABAT invites you to a video conference on the management of the Maroneia cave that will take place on Wednesday 25/05/2022 10:00 am. - 12:00 via the zoom platform.
LIFE GRECABAT presents its proposals for the protection of the natural environment and the biodiversity of the caves of Greece to the members of the Special Permanent Committee on Environmental Protection of the Parliament.
The installation of the environmental interpretation sign of LIFE GRECABAT, at the entrance of the Paleomylos sinkhole, in Akraifnio Orchomenos, was presented by tv channel STAR Central Greece.
The aim of action C4 is to improve [or change] the attitude and behaviour of the involved social partners towards bats, caves, cave life and their management.
On Friday, 12/11/2021, an Online Seminar was held for the presentation of the LIFE GRECABAT Troglometer devices. The presentation was attended by speleologists and other stakeholders, followed by a short discussion [total duration one hour].
LIFE GRECABAT organizes an online seminar for the presentation of the devices and the operation of the Troglometer, the recording system developed for the monitoring of abiotic parameters of caves and bat colonies.
One of the seemingly "innocent" but often detrimental pressures on the program's bat species is the human presence in important roosts, whether for speleological expeditions, archeological excavations, or other scientific activities or leisure visits. Especially during the period of birth and upbringing of newborns (nurseries, May - July) but also in winter (November-February), in the coldest caves, human presence can lead to mass deaths immediately or in the medium term.
The study of cave life had from its beginnings benefited optimally from non-professional cavers, who with their courage and dedication, contributed to the collection of data/information from places unknown and inaccessible to most researchers of their time.
Intending to enhance citizen science, LIFE GRECABAT, among other things, developed a special application for smart devices (smartphones & tablets) and web browsers.
