Starting in 1981, we began long-term efforts to fight and prevent illegal poaching; in 1984 we organized the first annual international camp.
Thanks to our efforts over these many years, poaching has almost disappeared in Sicily.
Activity: From morning to dusk, volunteers monitor the localities where raptor passage is expected; lunch will be in the field. Dinner is back at camp. Weather conditions influence migration, and can stall it for many days, or create the conditions for spectacular one-day flights.

Salimos a Lagunas andinas en Jujuy para registrar especies migradoras. Dimos charlas a público en general sobre la importancia de proteger hábitat para las aves migradoras.

Activities for WMBD 2010: Workshops and Capacity Building for the local communities about the conservation of ecosystems and migratory birds.

There will be activities all around Kosovo with a main event in Prishtina, the capital of our country. In cooperation with the Environmental Ministry of Kosovo and other NGO Environmental Organizations there a meeting in Prishtina will be organised in the centre of the city. This includes a photo exhibition, organized by "Finch" at AUK (American University of Kosova) as well as birdwatching activities at the outscirts of the city.

The second day will also offer birdwatching experiences at Dragashi Municipality, trying to find migratory birds that breed at a famous lake of Brezne.

On both days East African Outdoor Adventures will implement Birdwatching activities and will teach participants about birds. The event will take place in two separate areas to cover as many bird species as possible and to show the diversity of birds. The two areas chosen, have different land use status. Makuyuni lies next to Manyara Ranch/ Wildlife corridor area while Kitefu is a village with scattered settlements, located south west of Mt Meru and north west of Mt Kilimanjaro. The vegetation covered in the two sites differs a lot.

Green habitat is an organisation for the conservation of biodiversity in Chavakkad Thaluk in the area of Kerala, India. Every October migratory birds visit the Pavaratty mangrove area and the area of Chavakkad Beach and Enammakal Kole land.
This year we will conduct a workshop for school children in those areas and a bird watching camp for fishermen.
