Wild Dobruja Conservation Project!

Stephen Wiltshire is organizing this fundraiser – he writes:

"The region of Dobruja is located in Northeast Bulgaria and is where, in 2016, I purchased the piece of land pictured above. It’s not very big, a large garden really, but, like much of Eastern Europe it remains a good place for wildlife. However, as with the countryside in Western Europe, declines in wildlife have begun even here because of intensive agriculture which encroaches all around.
 
Currently this plot is abandoned cultivated land – which is OK – but I want to revert it into what Dobruja looked like before humans intervened: Flower, Butterfly, Bee, and Bird-rich Steppe grassland with areas of Trees and Scrub. I would also like to dig a pond, put up numerous bird-boxes, and create other features to maximise biodiversity. I have already recorded an amazing 80 species of birds from the site and there are nesting Golden Orioles, Red-backed Shrikes, Turtle Doves, Nightingales, and Tree Sparrows nearby – all  species that have declined massively or already been lost from the British countryside in recent years."
