element, publications are available, which introduces the principles of falconry and a practice that includes wildlife conservation and the specific language and equipment of falconers. C.5. Community participation Falconers participate in safeguarding the element not only by hunting with of prey but also through many educational activities during events held by the Falconers´ Club. In addition to the official promotion, professional groups contribute to education about the element through falconry demonstrations and lectures with trained birds of prey - e.g. Zayferus (see www.zayferus.cz). Throughout the year, the falconers participate in numerous falconry events organised by the Falconers´ Club (membership meetings, educational events, hunters´ gatherings). The essential role is played by gatherings of falconers including practical experience of hunting with birds of prey. They include the exchange of experience and knowledge at national and international levels. Falconers operate under the umbrella of the Falconers´ Club which documents the element on an on-going basis. Hunting associations and unions from across the country help to preserve falconry; in each region, they allow falconers to hunt with birds of prey in their hunting grounds. For safeguarding the element, the collaboration of these entities is of fundamental importance, as evidenced by their participation in a number of falconry gatherings. Many cultural institutions include educational events and discussions combined with practical demonstrations of falconry into their programmes. These programmes are implemented by members of the Falconers´ Club in many museum institutions, e.g. the Museum of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (www.borovansko.cz). The safeguarding of falconry also depends on cooperation with nature conservation and ornithological organisations which is better supported and implemented due to the inscription on the Representative List. C.6. Institutional context a) The element bearer is the Czech-Moravian Hunting Union Falconers´ Club, registered – association which gathers falconers, promotes hunting with birds of prey and education of the youth and the general public.
