After the premiere in cinemas this first quarter of 2024 of Urpa, thanks in part to the help provided by the sale of tickets for the last edition of the Delta Birding Festival, we will screen the documentary that gave its name to the conservation project of 2023, in Marquee 1.
The documentary “URPA, a fresh sip to save the Montagu’s harrier” explains the work of the people who have been working for decades in the plain of Lleida to protect this globally threatened bird, closely following its nesting during a season, from April to August. And at the same time, through the documentary we discover the genuine and innovative proposal to turn the cereal from the fields that are left unmown to protect the wasp nests into an artisanal beer, called Urpa, to reward and give visibility to the farmers involved. It is given voice to all the protagonists of this small story of complicity and success – from farmers to scientists – with the desire to spread an inspiring reality with the potential to be replicated in other places. The documentary, like Urpa’s own initiative, wants to contribute to making a bridge between the agricultural universe and that of nature conservation, and highlight that complicity and synergies can be woven between both worlds, part of one self. A work carried out by Limonium Natura, OxigeNATs and La Sabina.
