Less than a year ago Unesco published a short animated film Learning to protect biodiversity on popular video sharing website. As the name indicates the video theme is biodiversity; what is buiodiversity, why is it important and what is the role of education in the process of biodiversity conservation. Because we found the video to be an interesting mwthod of raising awareness, we decided to prepare Slovenian subtitles and we share it with wider public. Unesco accepted our suggestion and MTV Slovenija offered help with distribution. From today on video is on MTV TV programme three times a day. Scheduled is for 11.55 am, 2.50 pm and 6.50 pm.

On a sunny day, 16th July 2013, we have joined the children from Jezersko during »Happy holidays« which are for 15 years organized by Anica Jakopič from the pensioners' associations Jezersko. This year's workshops dedicated to the Year of Water were variegated by Lutra Institut. The children took a walk along the stream Jezernica up to Lake Planšar and hunted small aquatic animals that were hiding in the sand and under rocks. They learned about the life of the otter and the beaver. Children also created models of wetlands and got to know their importance for people. Finally, they viewed casts of otter footprints and footprints of other mammals. Some highlights from Jezersko can be seen in the gallery.

So on Friday, 5th July 2013, we presented freshwater inhabitants of all sizes.
