Lina Čikotienė, a forestry engineer, found a very rare injured black-necked diver.
“In Sirutiškis, between Nevėžis and the quarry, I found a bird that is on the verge of extinction. No organization responds, but Gytis Gaubys, the founder of Adomaitynė, came to the rescue.
We communicate with him, the bird needs to be cared for and cared for, ”said the citizen.
The information was relayed to environmentalists by a general telephone, however help is expected only next week.
“The environment has been released to capture the whereabouts of the black-necked diver, but it will probably be necessary to wait until Monday for a response.
