Prespa, Greece Prespa, in northern Greece, is where
we find Jorgos and Mersini - a husband and wife team of biologists who are
determined to save the lake's endangered pelicans and their beautiful
village that lies on its shores. Together they have helped the residents
of this little town just 10km from the Albanian border to value their
ancient traditions over 20th-century shortcuts, and to change the way they
fish in order to protect the lake's bird populations. Prespa Lake is the
largest breeding ground for 36 of Europe's 38 birds of prey.
