About our Crowdfunding Campaign
We are raising funds through crowdfunding togain a complete picture of Grey-faced Buzzard migrationandexpand our research to more regions.In fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025, we have used these generous donations to attach GPS tags to Grey-faced Buzzards and track them across Japan and beyond.
To fully map Grey-faced Buzzard migration,we need to tag as many individuals as possible across their entire range and build a comprehensive dataset.必要があります。
This requires medium-to-long-term research efforts across multiple regions across years.
Conservation of Grey-faced Buzzards is not something that can be achieved by a single individual or group alone. It is vital that more people recognize its importance and take action together as one.
Through our crowdfunding campaigns, we have not only conducted vital research with your support, but also shared results and insights with our backers. This collaborative approach — working hand in hand with you — is at the heart of what we do. We are committed to building a future where Grey-faced Buzzards and people can thrive together.と考えています。
We warmly invite everyone interested in this mission to join us in advancing Grey-faced Buzzard research and conservation.
