BirdLife International and the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPB) have launched a campaign for tracking the spectacular migrations of seven emblematic bird species: white stork, imperial eagle, Egyptian vulture, owl, quail, turtle dove and blackcap. The Flight for Survival initiative reveals the dangers of shooting, traps, and poisons that birds face during their long journey. The campaign was created by BirdLife Europe and Central Asia to raise awareness of illegal killing of birds in Italy, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Egypt, Lebanon, Hungary and Bulgaria, as well as of activities to combat this phenomenon. Over 25 million migratory birds are killed illegally every year. Therefore, efforts of institutions and organizations around the world are needed to protect them. Anyone can join the campaign by spreading information about it and about the threats to migrating birds and by making a donation to preserve the "magnificent seven" species at www.flightforsurvival.org.
