Politics of transboundary conservation of migratory birds in relation to hunting tourism
My research project is looking into the politics of migratory bird conservation and hunting tourism. It specifically focuses on hunting tourism by Maltese hunters in Egypt. The meeting of both migratory birds and hunters in Egypt, creates tensions between bird conservation efforts and hunting tourism. In order to understand these tensions and their influence on bird conservation, this research seeks to understand the relevant social contexts, historical dynamics, and power relations.
