Bird Migration Knows No Boundaries with Imad Al Atrash, Executive Director, Palestine Wildlife Society and Lukas Padegimas, Kirtland Bird Club

Every autumn and spring, half a billion birds of about 280 species pass over the Levant, including Palestine, Israel and Jordan, migrating between northern Europe to eastern and southern Africa. Imad also discusses flora, fauna, water conservation, and new energy sources.

As a Global Councilor of Bird Life International (www.birdlife.org), Imad is in charge of a joint program of activities for the Middle East, which includes data collection on wildlife with a focus on birds and the migratory routes, or flyways, through the Middle East. 

Meet Imad and learn about his work in education conservation in Levant countries and regions and around the world for people and nature.

Imad Al Atrash, Middle East Global Councilor, Bird Life International, Founder & Executive Director, Palestine Wildlife Society, and Wildlife Rehabilitation Center with Lukas Padegimas, Kirtland Bird Club
