Through fieldwork, we will learn about the biodiversity of ponds and karst grasslands. We will get acquainted with the methodology of monitoring the condition of selected species of butterflies and amphibians. We will participate in the monitoring of the population of the endangered marsh warbler (Coenonympha oedippus).
