What’s it like to be the only person travelling alongside vultures? Vultures, who are not black, nor white, but all Egyptian? What challenges will the adventurer face along their way? And how will people across three continents help them reach their destination in Africa?

The answers to all these questions can be found playing the new board game “Odyssey – Egyptian vulture”!

Designed by the talented illustrator Yana Kazakova, go on a journey alongside a bird who is rapidly flying towards extinction.

This game will teach you about the different threats Egyptian Vultures face along their flyway, and you will also learn fascinating facts about the species and migration in general – all while having fun!

How to make the game?
Print all the pages of the PDF file in your chosen language in A4 (and ideally in colour!). Cut the paper where indicated, and together the board with tape. You’re ready for take-off!

Download the materials here:
– Albanian
– Amharic
– Arabic

– English

This game is brought to you by the Egyptian Vulture New LIFE project – where institutions and organisations from 14 countries spanning the Balkans, Middle East and Africa have joined forces to save the endangered Egyptian Vulture.

Over 25 000 000 million birds are illegally killed around the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and the Caucasus every year. For non-rounded, mean numbers, and minimum/maximum estimates, see: Preliminary assessment of the scope and scale of illegal killing and taking of birds in the Mediterranean (Brochet et al 2016) and Illegal killing and taking of Birds in Europe outside the Mediterranean: assessing the scope and scale of a complex issue (Brochet et al., 2018)

“Flight for Survival” is a BirdLife International campaign managed by Stichting BirdLife Europe to raise awareness about the illegal killing of birds in Italy, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Egypt, Lebanon, Bulgaria and Hungary, and their conservation activities to fight this.” The species storylines for this campaign are heavily inspired by the information available on the migration habits of the selected birds.
