EVOA considered one of the best wetland interpretation centers in the world

  • January 4, 2023
EVOA was last November 9 recognized as one of the best wetland interpretation centers in the world.

EVOA was last November 9 recognized as one of the best wetland interpretation centers in the world. The award was presented at the 14th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, known as Ramsar COP14, being held in Geneva, Switzerland, and the EVOA was selected by an international panel of highly recognized professionals in the field.
 
“The judges were particularly impressed with EVOA’s accessibility, including not only mobility, but also the wide range of languages it uses in its communication,” says Chris Rostron, director of the WLI lead entity, “The center serves everyone from kindergarten to adults and offers everyone a rich science-based experience.”
 
The EVOA provides various birding activities, with private and group sessions or tours, following the tides or even at night (including a citizen science activity, which aims to count owls at night), workshops and small events, including cultural activities.
 
For Companhia das Lezírias the attribution of this award to EVOA, one of its areas, is the recognition of 10 long years of dedication and investment and of the constant commitment to make visitors aware of the importance of the Tagus Estuary for birds and people, We hope that this award will encourage a growing awareness of citizens for environmental issues, in particular the water issue, and at the same time serve as an incentive to attract more visitors, both national and international, and especially the school community, to an emblematic space in terms of nature and biodiversity, just outside Lisbon.
With an activity increasingly focused on sustainability – a motto that has been applied in all areas of activity – Companhia das Lezírias has encouraged research and conservation, supporting the most diverse national, European and global projects, seeking to integrate and share knowledge, experiences and know-how in the search for the best preservation and environmental dynamization practices.
 
The Star Wetland Center Award is a new initiative to recognize best practices in wetland ecotourism and education. It is coordinated by Wetland Link International (WLI), an international support network for all those who work in the more than 300 interpretation centers located in wetlands around the world along the various bird migratory routes.
