Тhousands of families participated in the Familatlon feast

On May 12, 2019, on the big meadow in the South Park in Sofia over 50 sports and leisure clubs and NGOs provided opportunities for more than 4,000 families to experiment with new experiences. There was also a team of the LIFE project “LAND for LIFE” which introduced parents and children with the Imperial eagle as well as the birds in the park, through the traditional birdwatching tours.

The feast was also dedicated to the World Migratory Bird Day celebrated on May 11. This year the theme of the Day was “Protect Birds: Be the Solution to Plastic Pollution!” and put the spotlight on the impact of plastic pollution on migratory birds and their habitats.

Familatlon was organized by the Parents Association in partnership with the Three Foundation and the support of the Sofia Municipality.

The participation of BSPB in the event was organized within LIFE projects "Land for LIFE" and "Egyptian Vulture New LIFE”.
