In this age traveling becomes more and more important to
people around the globe. To keep an eye on nature and to balance tourism and
nature conservation, BirdsConTour initiated the “Travel gives Wings” division.
By traveling directly with BirdsConTour or making use of a
guide from BirdsConTour you support bird conservation and create an economic
platform for local livelihoods. Sometimes travelers also participate in another
BirdsConTour project. To say THANK YOU, every tour participant receives a Bird
& Birder Friendly Award at the end of the tour.
Cleaning sessions during the
tour are part of the "BirdsConTour for a cleaner Bird Habitat"
project. This time the surrounding area of a termite mound at the turnoff to
Mount Etjo was cleaned from litter.
Eleven German-speaking guests were rewarded with one
penguin-rated Bird & Birder Friendly Awards:
Billmann Silke & Michael
Breitenstein Dorothea & Peter
Dörner Marion
Finke Evelyn
Hoffmann Ingrid & Müller Lutz
Jonas Yvonne Helena Maria & Wirtz Wilhelm Heinrich
Welcker Irene
