As a trained chemical laboratory technician, Laura Isabelle Englert has always had a keen interest in nature and its connections, and she developed a passion for birds of prey at an early age. Since 2022, she has been a trained falconer and volunteers for public relations and assists with nature and species conservation projects at the VDF Rhineland-Palatinate/Saarland.


Her mission statement:

“Everything is connected.”

This becomes even clearer when you consider the birds of prey in Africa. It may sound far-fetched to some at first. But many native birds of prey, such as the lesser spotted eagle and the common hobby, are migratory birds and migrate to Africa for the winter. Montagu’s harrier, black kite, kestrel, and honey buzzard are also long-distance migrants.

If they die in Africa, they never return to us and are missing from both our ecosystem and the entire natural cycle. Even if climate change means fewer birds of prey migrate in winter, many are still affected.
Therefore, species conservation is not only very important and essential on our own doorstep, but also in the places where the species live.
This is also the case in Africa.
