“A flock of wild geese flies south sometimes forming the shape of a person sometimes a straight line”

    Year after year, there is a group of professionals dedicated to protecting migratory birds. They follow the birds’ north-south journeys, enduring wind and exposure, tracking information about the birds, exploring various unsolved mysteries along their migration routes, while also protecting their habitats and conducting science outreach.

      2016The annual large-scale public environmental protection event “Following Wild Geese on Migration – Protecting Migratory Bird Routes” kicks off as the tundra swans begin their northward migration: spanning13provinces and cities, traveling day and night for25,000kilometers, from the shores of Dongting Lake to Ulansuhai Nur in Inner Mongolia.12experts, equipped with a variety of high-tech gear, experience the grandeur and hardships of migration.

Numerous enthusiastic media outlets and high-tech companies join hands to participate, creating miracles in wildlife and ecological conservation by integrating diverse resources.

One of the experts’ super gear items:Globally leading avian satellite trackers

Scientists have located some individuals from four batches oftundra swansthat have been released from Dongting Lake over the past three years. With these trackers, precise positioning and tracking of the subjects can be achieved.

How to ensure the safety and comfort of experts during long-distance, long-duration driving expeditions in the outdoors,as a professional outdoor brand,THE FIRST OUTDOOR(TFO) deeply understands the challenges faced by experts.

With limited space in the vehicle and luggage needing to be as compact as possible, can traditional bulky three-in-one down jackets really get the job done?

The habitats of migratory birds are mostly wetlands—how can one stay both waterproof and capable of monitoring at the same time?
