🕊️ Help us protect migratory birds this autumn!

Across the Mediterranean more than 100 bird protection volunteers will be monitoring roosting sites, dismantling traps, rescuing and releasing protected birds and catching poachers!

Your donation really makes a difference!

France wanted to allow trapping of over 100,000 migratory birds again in the name of ‘tradition’ - however for the fourth year in a row, the Supreme Court has ruled against it following a complaint by our partner associations @LPOFrance & @onevoiceanimal!👉https://t.co/TqCmp2M6CQ
