Birds do not know borders, and their research and conservation require international cooperation. Within EBCC projects, we work together with individuals and organisations across whole Europe towards common goals. Regardless of differences in languages, cultures, religion, or political views, the EBCC network has always shown a sense of cooperation and solidarity.
