Are you ready? Here it comes -  Champions of the Flyway 2023

The Champions of the Flyway project is back once again and this year\'s project will focus on the vulnerable and rapidly declining Red-breasted Goose (Branta Ruficolis) 

Red-breasted geese are among the most threatened goose species in the world, under pressure from various factors, with illegal hunting being on of the most profound threats to their small and dwindling population.

Almost the entire global population of Red-breasted geese rely on Kazakhstan as a vital, long-term stopover area on both spring and autumn migration.  

Our latest Champions campaign – culminating in the famous 24-hour Bird Race in Eilat in March 2023 – is in partnership with our friends at ACBK and BSPB, BirdLife International’s partners at these critical stopover areas.

Like every year, teams of birders from around the world will aim to raise funds and awareness to the plea of the Red breasted Goose and other species. The money that we will raise over the coming months will be devoted to various conservation actions on the ground in order to do what we can to ensure the survival of this incredible species. 

We encourage you to donate what you can to the project, together we are a strong conservation force. 

It is up to us to make sure that the Red-breasted Geese will continue to migrate safely! 

Thank you!
