The international organization, encourages teams of Young Journalists to investigate local environmental issues that are directly related to the following critical issues that require urgent action e.g. Climate Change , Biodiversity Loss and Pollution.
During the current school year 2021-2022, Idaliou High School is participating in the Photo-Documentation Competition, which represents a specific moment and aims to present the decline of butterfly biodiversity in non Natura 2000 sites compared to Natura 2000 sites.
In the framework of the project, and after our visits to a Natura 2000 site (Agios Sozomenos) and a non Natura 2000 site (inside the fenced Archaeological site of Idali), we managed to capture several butterflies in the Natura 2000 site. The photo below was selected for our participation in the Contest:
