A two day „Kick-off Worksop” was organized for presenting plans of the five year long LIFE+ program on 16th and 17th October. We had invited participants, partners, sponsors and international relations of the program. The event was held in the Cave Cinema of Budapest Zoo, with 75 participants on the first day, when they could learn structure of the programs beside main results of related conservation research. On the second day a group of participants visited the Hungarian Meadow Viper Conservation Centre and the nearest habitats while the others went to Vienna, where they visited the new exhibit of Hungarian meadow viper in Schönbrunn Zoo.
