Every
year
from
March
to
October,
Christian
Moullec,
also
known
as
“Birdman”
，
takes
to
the
skies
aboard
his
adapted
light
aircraft.
However,
the
58-
year-
old
Frenchman's daily 30-
minute flight is
not just to enjoy the impressive views,
but to guide flocks of lesser
white-
fronted geese through safe
migration paths which the
birds can
teach future generations.
His
deed
began
in
1995
when
he
noticed
the
birds'
declining
population
in
the
wilds
of
Lapland,
Sweden.
To
prevent
their
numbers
from
dropping
further,
Moullec
tried
to
get
the
threatened
species
to
follow
him
along
migration
routes
that
would
protect them from bird hunters.
However,
getting
grown
geese
to
follow
his
lead
proved
challenging.
As
young
geese
imitate and follow whomever they view as their
parent, Moullec decided to raise
the
geese from birth.
To help raise funds
and heighten awareness of his job to protect not
just the geese
but
birds
worldwide,
Moullec
often
allows
paying
tourists
to
join
him
on
the
30-
minute-
long
flights
aboard
his
aircraft.
In
addition
to
the
trained
birds
flying
alongside
them,
visitors,
who
come
from
as
far
as
a
15-
hour
plane
flight
away,
are
treated
to a variety of crane and goose species as well as
breathtaking views of castles
and
cities.
He often brings his camera
along for the flights, capturing photos not just
for their
beauty, but for what they
describe. Moullec believes the use of agricultural
chemicals
has done harm to wild
European birds, with more than a third
disappearing in the last 30
years.
“It's a disaster
，
” he said.
“My beautiful images with flying birds should be
used
to tell this story.”
