The 2022 bird calendar may be purchased for Awg 10.- at Huchada Bakery in Santa Cruz, & Best Deal Aruba in Paradera.
Also starting this week at all Botica di Servicio locations.
The calendar features 14 photographs, by local, keen-eyed and artistic shutter-bugs.
Greg Peterson, at the head of the Aruba Birdlife Conservation foundation reports that for the past thirteen years ABC has invited Aruban photographers to donate some of their work to the bird calendar. Credit is given to these nature loving artists for their excellent images capturing winged beauty.
The income generated by the sale of the calendars is used for conservation, in particular one project, the Shoco artificial burrows, underground PVC mazes, designed by conservationists to offer Aruba’s National Bird alternative homes, in the form of more resilient, protected habitats.
While more than 500 are required the foundation already managed to install and pay for seventy, placed in different areas, favored by the little owls.
The photographs in the calendar were taken by Greg Peterson, Damilice Mansur, Michiel Oversteegen, Albert Peterson, Patrick Pena, Ross Boss, Michael Tromp, and Peter Sprockel.
Peterson reiterates that there is still a lot to be done, and ABC needs all the financial support it can get. Any donation, big or small can make a difference: Aruba Birdlife Conservation, Aruba Bank, Camacuri 12, account #2402860190, Swift ARUWAX.
The 16 nature areas that Aruba Birdlife Conservation foundation proposed in 2012 to parliament for conservation and placement under Aruba’s National Park foundation, finally became a reality in 2021. The road was long. Many meetings, campaigns, 12,000 signature, and numerous court cases, were required to get this done. Aruba Birdlife Conservation foundation is very grateful to all those who have contributed in one way or another.
The photographs in the calendar are beautiful, and will cheer up any home or office with action packed, bird life images.
