We’re excited to announce that the Wildlife Observations Of Pelion (WOOP) project is now officially part of Merman Conservation Expeditions Ltd. 🎉

Since its launch in February 2020, WOOP has been a grassroots effort to document and protect the biodiversity of Pelion through citizen science. From native wildlife to alien species, the project has brought together locals, tourists, researchers, and nature lovers to better understand and conserve the incredible natural heritage of the region.

By moving WOOP under the company "Merman Conservation Expeditions Ltd", we aim to expand its impact, improve public access to research and data, and continue building strong conservation awareness across communities. 🌍✨

🏔️ Mt. Pelion holds a special place in our hearts, which is why we have established our research base there. Numerous studies and surveys have been conducted in this region, and they will continue, reflecting its significance to our work.
