Background

Georgia sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia and is one of the world's most important migration corridors for birds. Every spring and autumn, millions of birds travel along the East African–West Asian Flyway, making Georgia a globally significant location for bird conservation. Despite this extraordinary natural asset, many young people have limited opportunities to learn about the importance of migratory birds and the role their country plays in protecting global biodiversity.

This project addresses that gap by working with schools, educators and local conservation organisations to deliver environmental education and hands-on learning experiences. By encouraging children to connect with nature through birdwatching, citizen science and conservation activities, the project builds environmental awareness, fosters pride in Georgia's natural heritage and empowers the next generation to become active stewards of their environment.
