Program

URPA: un glop fresc per salvar l’arpella cendrosa” We want to share a beautiful and inspiring story of collaboration to help save a threatened species, the Montagu’s Harrier (Circus pygargus). The documentary 'URPA: A Fresh Brew to Save the Montagu’s Harrier' showcases decades of work in the Lleida plains (NE Spain) to protect this globally endangered bird, following its breeding season from April to August. It also highlights an innovative initiative: transforming cereal crops left unharvested to protect harrier nests into Urpa (claw in Catalan), an artisan beer, to reward and raise awareness about the farmers involved. The film gives a voice to all key players—farmers, scientists, and more—offering an inspiring and replicable model of conservation success.

After the screening of the documentary, there will be a free tasting of the craft beer featured in the documentary.
