Every year from March to October， Christian Moullec， also known as “Birdman”， takes hisadapted light aircraft to the sky. However， the Frenchman’s daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoythe impressive views， but to guide flocks （鸟群） of lesser white-fronted geese through securemigration 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 number from decreasing further， Moullec tried to get the threatened speciesto 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（效仿） 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 birdsworldwide， Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the 30-minute-long flights aboard hisaircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them， visitors， who come from as far as a15-hour plane flight away， are treated to a variety of crane and goose species as well as breathtakingviews of castles and cities.

He often brings his camera along for the flights， capturing photos not just for their beauty， but forwhat they describe. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wildEuropean birds， with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “It’s a disaster，” he said. “Mybeautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story.”
