2009 - 2011

The Northern Bald Ibis has received a conservation boost from the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. During a visit to Monaco, BirdLife Honorary President HIH Princess Takamado of Japan offered HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco the title of BirdLife Species Champion for the Northern Bald Ibis.

The ongoing conservation efforts will now benefit from a three year grant from the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. The support of the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation will help continue the work of protecting the ibis colonies, monitoring and tracking individuals as they migrate, and hopefully elucidate one of the last remaining mysteries; the migratory route and wintering grounds of juvenile birds.
