A bird's eye view of climate change: Victor the eagle is part of the Alpine Eagle Race project, which aims to raise awareness of melting glaciers
CHAMONIX, France - Victor, a nine-year old white-tailed eagle, set off this week on a mission to raise awareness of climate change in the Alps, which have already been hard hit by the rise in global temperatures.
Victor is part of the Alpine Eagle Race project, which aims to raise awareness of melting glaciers and other effects of global warming through the combined eyes of the eagle, a photographer and a scientist. White-tailed eagles are Europe’s biggest eagle. While they are ranked as “least concern” on a list of endangered species drawn up by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, they are now sparse in western Europe.
“Unfortunately today glaciers are the main problem because we can see clearly that they’re melting at an incredible speed,” said Jacques Olivier Travers, a co-founder of Eagle Wings and one of Victor’s falconers.“So we need to protect this environment first to be able to bring these eagles back into the wild,” he said.
