Project Description
BirdLife Malta strives to conserve wild birds and their habitats. The organisation monitors activity that threatens wild birds, such as illegal hunting and trapping and urban development in conservation areas on the Maltese islands.
BirdLife Malta is the most effective and successful organisation in the fight against illegal hunting of protected species in Malta. Every year we organise Raptor Camp as part of our conservation work to curtail illegal hunting activity and monitor the bird migration. A great opportunity to meet new people from different countries (last camp had 55 participants from 8 countries).
Work is hands-on with immediately results. Teams of between 5-8 participants will be posted at migration/hunting hotspots to monitor illegal activity and report local wild life police. These camps are extremely successful tools to reduce illegal hunting activity and gather scientific data which highlights the importance of Malta as a migratory route. The camp runs for just over two weeks and participants are invited to come for one, two or more weeks. Those who stay on will have the opportunity to work on other conservation projects.
