Πώς μπορούν τα μεγάλα πουλιά να πετούν αρκετές εκατοντάδες χιλιόμετρα μέσα σε μία μόνο ημέρα, καταναλώνοντας όχι περισσότερη ενέργεια απ’ όση όταν ξεκουράζονται; Μια εκτεταμένη διεθνής μελέτη με τη συμμετοχή Σλοβένων ερευνητών δίνει την απάντηση. Διαπίστωσε ότι η ανεμοπορία στα ρεύματα του αέρα είναι η πιο ενεργειακά αποδοτική μορφή ενεργής μετακίνησης στη Γη. Η ανακάλυψη αναδεικνύει επίσης την εξαιρετική σημασία του μεταναστευτικού διαδρόμου πάνω από τη Σλοβενία, ο οποίος είναι μία από τις βασικές διαδρομές των μεγάλων αρπακτικών πουλιών στην Ευρώπη.

Although Slovenia has only a few dozen kilometres of coastline, its waters harbour a rich and diverse underwater world. This year, researchers and divers have been delighted by two significant sightings: the discovery of juvenile noble pen shells, the largest bivalve species in the Mediterranean, and more frequent sightings of the Mediterranean feather star, a mysterious and elegant inhabitant of the seabed.

White storks – symbols of happiness, love and new life – are thriving in Slovenia. This year's census, carried out by DOPPS – BirdLife Slovenia, brought record-breaking results: 321 pairs of white storks nested across the country, and 807 chicks successfully fledged – 134 more than the year before. This is the highest number recorded since the census began. Already in 2023 and 2024, storks impressed with a record number of occupied nests. Last year, 311 pairs nested in Slovenia, and 673 young birds fledged – which was also a historic result at the time.

Despite its small size, the Slovenian sea hides a wealth of life. Did you know that it is also home to dolphins? Researchers have so far observed around 400 dolphins in the Slovenian sea, with some 150 living there permanently. The only resident species found in the waters along the Slovenian coast and elsewhere in northern Adriatic is the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). For more than 20 years, experts from the Morigenos Slovene Marine Mammal Society have been monitoring the species, studying their behaviour, movement and life.

20 March is World Frog Day. As tailless amphibians, frogs play an important role in the balance of nature. They are important to ecosystems as both prey and predators. In rainy weather, spring temperatures awaken amphibians to make their way to their spawning grounds in the evening. To make their migration route as safe as possible, the Municipality of Kranj has again organised several campaigns to help frogs cross roads on rainy evenings.

The Karst is the homeland of the Karst Shepherd, a breed of dog which over the centuries the sharp bora wind has only toughened and not weakened, and which together with the herders and Karst sheep has eked out a living, while being able to maintain its noble character. Without love, mutual respect and understanding, both human and dog would lose a lot.
