The Galala Bird Observatory (GBO), a joint project by the NCE and the Ministry of Environment, stands as a testament to NCE's commitment to avian conservation. Positioned atop the Galala Plateau near Ain Sokhna, this observatory is situated at a unique confluence of migratory flyways, creating a significant bottleneck for various species. By establishing a permanent monitoring station here, NCE is not only contributing to the long-term research and monitoring of raptors and other soaring birds but also fostering a connection between people and nature through an education and awareness center and a dedicated observation point for birdwatchers and photographers.
