Abstract EN

Egypt is rich in natural and human tourism attractions, on which many tourism patterns are based, including bird-watching tourism (the most gentle tourism).

preserving this pattern, which is spreading rapidly in the recent period, and attracts many interested parties, whether Egyptians or foreigners, by applying international agreements for the conservation of these migratory birds, including the convention for the protection of migratory species (CMS), the international African-European convention for the conservation of migratory waterfowl (Iowa) and the Ramsar convention for the conservation of lands.

al-Rutba, which is considered a shelter for those migratory birds, and the project for the conservation of migratory soaring birds in Egypt (BLI) from here came the idea of research in identifying international agreements and projects for the conservation of migratory birds that are applied in Egypt to sustain bird-watching tourism.

the research aims to shed light on bird-watching tourism, the most important bird migration paths in Egypt, the most important wetlands that are a shelter for these migratory birds, as well as the challenges that these migratory birds face during their migration and return journey through Egyptian lands.

150 questionnaires were distributed to a simple random sample of workers.

the ministry of tourism and antiquities and the Egyptian ministry of environment.

the study recommended the need to establish rules and requirements to be followed when hunting these birds.

and permanent cooperation between the concerned authorities and civil society organizations concerned with protecting nature, and conducting awareness campaigns for the local population in the areas of bird migration to reduce wrong practices and report poaching.
