The Champions of the Flyway is dedicated to preventing the illegal killing of migratory birds on the Africa-Eurasian Flyway. In August 2015, the shocking extent of the slaughter around the Mediterranean was revealed by a study \u201cThe Killing\u201d published by BirdLife International. Around 25 million birds, mainly songbirds, are killed illegally there by shooters and trappers every year! Download a copy of this definitive report here.<\/p>\n

\n

The Dutch Knighs are one of the supporting teams, raising awerness to these slaughter but also trying to raise money for the cause.<\/p>\n
