Barend van Gemerden 10 November 7 GMT

The Conservation of Migratory Birds

Bird migration is one of the greatest phenomena of the natural world. Through their incredible journeys migratory birds connect countries, continents and cultures. Sadly, many populations of migratory birds are in decline. Keeping migratory birds safe is a priority for the 116 nature conservation organisations united in the BirdLife Partnership. Barend would like to bring you up to speed with the successes and challenges of migratory bird conservation.

Barend has been involved in migratory bird conservation for close to 20 years. First with a focus on the East Atlantic Flyway while working for Vogelbescherming Nederland, the BirdLife Partner in The Netherlands. Since 2016 he is the coordinator of BirdLife’s Flyways Programme and works together with nature conservationists along flyways worldwide.

    Tomorrow’s conservationists

    Bella is a teen conservationist who began her campaigning work at 12 years old. She became an ambassador for the Born Free Foundation, Save The Asian Elephants, RSPCA, and the Jane Goodall Institute in order to help spread the message (especially amongst the youth) around the necessity for taking action to protect our remaining wildlife. She delivers speeches in order to aid this goal including at the People’s Walk for Wildlife, the Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference in 2018 and she also delivered a TEDx talk in Brighton in 2019. She worked on a Cesar nominated feature-length documentary —featuring primatologist Jane Goodall— in order to uplift solutions to the sixth mass extinction crisis.

    Bella has also written a book called Children of the Anthropocene (published by Penguin in June 2022). It highlights the youth who are combatting the environmental crisis feeling a need to focus on the path ahead and to create a new narrative rather than just rail against the current situation.

    Bella co-founded the Reserva Youth Council in early 2019 and in 2021 was Co-Chair of the Civil Society and Youth Advisory Council for COP26.

    Saving Europe’s Vultures

    Hans is president of the Vulture Conservation Foundation. This Dutch based foundation is the world’s leading wildlife organisation solely dedicated to protecting, conserving and restoring Europe’s vultures species. Over the last century the populations of Bearded, Cinereous, Egyptian and Griffon Vulture have declined dramatically and seen their distribution ranges across the continent severely restricted. The VCF is working towards reversing this and our conservation initiative to return the Bearded Vulture to the Alps mountain range is one of the most remarkable wildlife comeback stories of the last 50 years. It really shows that vulture conservation does work.

    Hans’ first acquaintance with the VCF was when he returned a weakened Bearded Vulture back to the Alps in the back of his car. Since then, he has worked on several projects while representing the VCF. He holds the voluntary position of President of the foundation since January 2021.

    His education includes studying Spatial Planning and he has also worked at three different consultancy firms during the past 18 years. Currently, he is Director of Conservation at Dutch NGO, Stichting Landschap Overijssel. In this role, he is responsible for the management of 64 different nature-reserves.

    He is an avid birder in his free time.
