This action has been possible thanks to the financing of the Institute for the Development and Promotion of the Alt Pirineu and Aran (IDAPA), with the collaboration of the Isona i Conca Dell\u00e0 Town Council and the Conca Dell\u00e0 Museum, and with the installation in charge of the Geoparc&#8217;s collaborating entity, Salvatgines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative arises at the request from Tremp&#8217;s &#8220;Camp d&#8217;Aprenentage&#8221;(learning center) , which develops educational and research activities with numerous students throughout the year, especially during the months of May and June. The space also receives school visits from the territory, exits from the Museo de la Conca Dell\u00e0 and groups of tourists interested in paleontological heritage. The new pergola will act as a climate shelter and will improve the comfort and safety of all these activities, avoiding intense heat and facilitating field work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the installation of the pergola, the Salvatgines entity has carried out the repair of the rope and the stairs located next to the site, improving its accessibility and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With actions like this, Or\u00edgens Geopark reinforces its work of supporting research, education and scientific dissemination, improving the conditions of the spaces that allow students, researchers and visitors to the territory to get closer to geology and paleontology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Orcau 2 site is one of the most prominent and popular dinosaur sites in the Or\u00edgens Geopark, on which numerous studies and scientific articles have been published.
