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.

Twelve German-speaking guests were rewarded with one penguin-rated Bird & Birder Friendly Awards:

Bölli Alice

Eisel Erika & Maik

Hess Christina

Maigre Elfriede

Moder Peter

Paul Sebastian

Riebold-Urbano Ala Da Costa Renate

Schatz Beate

Ulfig Johanna & Peter

Weingard-Moder Ulrike

This Namib Tour, organized by Pack Safari and Chamäleon Reisen, took place from the 24^th of March until the 4^th of April 2014.
