Bird migration between Europe and Africa is a perilous journey, particularly in the Mediterranean. This book explores the complex interactions between hunters, birds, and the landscapes they inhabit, as well as the dynamics and politics of bird conservation.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 256 pages
Publication date: 11 August 2023
Publisher: Berghahn Books


Bird migration between Europe and Africa is a perilous journey, particularly in the Mediterranean, where migratory birds are shot and trapped in large numbers. In Malta, thousands of hunters share a shrinking countryside. They also rub shoulders with a strong bird-protection and conservation lobby. Drawing on years of ethnographic fieldwork, this book traces the complex interactions between hunters, birds, and the landscapes they inhabit, as well as the dynamics and politics of bird conservation. Birds of Passage examines the practice and meaning of hunting in a specific context and raises broader questions about human-wildlife interactions and the uncertain outcomes of conservation.
