'Geo' Editorial Teams Organize 'Day Of Biodiversity'
Midnight in the region of Voose in Estonia, 70 kilometers east of the capital of Tallinn. The silhouette of a Ural owl clearly stands out in the bright night sky. The bird, half a meter high, sits on the top of a pine tree. Then his dark "boohoo" resounds – similar to that of the eagle owl, only deeper. "Geo Estonia" recently invited nature lovers to search for species in the Voose forest. The participants, equipped with compass and map, set out with ten experts to identify plants and insects. And there was more: they also searched for animals droppings and identified the species that produced them. The northern hare, for example, leaves behind "round pills," the hare "olive stones," and the deer "raisins."
