Résumé :	Twice yearly, millions of migratory birds fly between their breeding sites in temperate and Arctic zones in northern Europe and Asia, and winter in warmer regions like western and southern Europe, the Mediterranean, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The unsustainable hunting and illegal killing of birds along Africa’s Mediterranean north coast might be contributing to declines in the populations of migratory species, and constitutes a considerable challenge for bird conservation efforts, as many local communities in these areas might depend on bird hunting during the migration seasons for part of their livelihoods. Over several decades, hunting of migratory birds has taken different forms along Egypt's coast culminating in recent years in the widespread use of hundreds of kilometres of mist nets along the coastline in the autumn, all the way from the eastern to the western border.
