The corner stone for the ORNIBA project has been Adriatic Flyway initiative that made public the importance of regions for bird migration and revealed aggravating situation regarding bird hunting.
ORNIBA stands for ORNIthology while BA stands for the Balkans, expressing not-tied-to-country-borders nature of the bird species migration and a need for joint interventions to respond to specific problems of decline in birds diversity. ORNIBA seeks to contribute to preservation and valorisation of birdlife diversity in the Adriatic Flyway migration route by sustaining joint interventions between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro.
The project bears significant cross-border co-operation for solving environmental issues and integrated collaboration in protected areas management, while increasing collaboration through the strong advocacy and campaign actions.
