BREAKING - Please RT! Champions of the Flyway '23 IS GO! We are racing to raise vital funds and awareness to save rapidly-declining RED-BREASTED GEESE at their Kazakhstan staging grounds... full details here champions-of-the-flyway.com - and read on below 👇

On this upcoming #WMBD2022, we focus on the issue of #LightPollution and how cities & citizens can help to reduce it! There are 6 principles for best practice lighting design which you can follow to help nocturnally migrating birds. #DimLightsforBirds 🧵⬇️

BirdLife Malta disappointed EU law was not protected by local Courts & that there are no means of having remedy to a breach of the EU Directives. @EU_Commission now has more responsibility to act fast on spring hunting of #TurtleDove & we expect developments in the near future.
