Just incredible! Electrocutions, rival fights to the death, chicks falling overboard.... it's been a season of very high drama in our Short-toed Eagle nest this year, and you can relive the story now on our website in words, pics and film: https://t.co/vzz62IDLIM

לפני כמה דקות, בשעה 16:00, נכנס לתפקידו המנכ"ל החדש שלנו, דן אלון וסיימה את תפקידה המנכ"לית היוצאת, איריס האן, אחרי 6.5 שנים בתפקיד ועוד שנים רבות נוספות (החל ממורה חיילת!), בתפקידים אחרים בארגון.

אנחנו רוצים למסור תודה ענקית לאיריס, על כל השנים, כל ההצלחות וכל ההישגים ולאחל הצלחה גדולה לדן, בתפקיד חשוב ומשמעותי זה.

בתמונות – השלט הנמצא בכניסה למשרד המנכ"ל, של איריס (היוצאת) ודן (הנכנס), על רקע ספרו של אחד ממייסדי החברה להגנת הטבע, עזריה אלון - "טבע ואדם" ודן ואיריס, במסיבת הפרידה ממנה, מעובדי הארגון, שהתקיימה לפני כמה ימים, במשרדים שלנו.

[BirdLife Malta @BirdLife_Malta]

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.

[Champions of the Flyway @flywaychampions]

So, who won what in Champions Of The Flyway '22? Well, everyone's a winner (especially Turtle Doves 🕊), but if you want to see who scooped the awards, see here! : https://t.co/JW1oqZNZfY
