Champions of the Flyway is now a well known fund and awareness raising event in global birding and conservation circles. Since its humble beginnings back in 2014, they’ve raised over $500,000 for projects tackling the illegal killing of birds migrating along the flyways. Over these past seven years the project has shone the spotlight on the many challenging issues birds face, helping nine different Birdlife International partners in their ongoing struggle against the slaughter of migrants on the ground.
