Migratory birds
Recently, the ministry updated its guidelines and recommended putting sensors at the turbines of wind power farms to better monitor the moves of migratory birds and automatically shut down.
The Migratory Soaring Birds Project of the Ministry of Environment has issued a map and guide for migratory bird routes in Egypt, to help enthusiasts with bird watching tourism enjoy the most beautiful creatures flying in the sky.
“The mild weather conditions and the high altitude of the site [El Galala Mountain] give it an added value for bird watching and photographing tourism,” said Fouad in a statement released by the Ministry on Monday.
The Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency (EEAA) has signed a cooperation protocol with the British company Lekela Power to finance and implement a migratory birds monitoring training program in Egypt.
