Sectors
-
The Migratory Soaring Birds project is working with key sectors in countries along the Rift Valley and around the Red Sea, to ensure that developments which are improving the lives of the people of the region do no harm to the large soaring birds which use the world’s second largest migratory flyway.
These sectors are Agriculture, Energy, Hunting, Tourism and Waste Management
The MSB project aims to apply the most advanced of bird-sensitive and biodiversity-sensitive technology and best practice, within the tradition of hospitality towards visitors which is observed throughout the region.
