Bird Research and Conservation

About Program
The Archipelagos bird research team collects avian data related to marine habitats and threatened wetland habitats in and around Samos island, as well as other eastern Aegean islands. This information is gathered with the purpose of improving site protection and ecological status of these areas, as well as for contributing to educational and public awareness projects. Project activities include:
• Collecting data on bird population through standardised point count methods and transect surveys on the islands as well as through boat-based surveys
• Analysing migratory and non-migratory bird populations throughout the year
• Studying nesting behaviour with the use of camera traps
• Caring for injured birds before releasing them back into the wild
• Providing the education and the media teams with information on local and regional birds and their habitats

Location
If pastitsio and gyros aren't enough of a reason for you to go to Greece; then the stunningly blue waters, the medieval cities, and picturesque white houses with blue roofs should do the trick. Every island has a different vibe and will be well suited for a variety of travelers.
