Bird Friendly Energy in Egypt

In light of this year's theme for WMBD 2013, we are networking conservationists with the renewable energies sector in Egypt. A trip is being organized for employees of the wind energy sector in Egypt in order to promote soaring birds concerns in their field of work. They will be taken out to a bottleneck site (Ein El Sokhna, Gulf of Suez) for birdwatching, then a field visit to a nearby wind farm, followed by a short seminar/workshop on wind energy and MSB conservation. Note that this date was chosen because it better suites the peak of migration in Egypt. This trip will also include a number of Egyptian birdwatchers and nature lovers.
