How do tags protect birds?

Giving two of the young harriers satellite tags is a clever way to help protect them. These small devices allow conservationists to track their movements, understand their migration routes, and identify potential dangers. This information is crucial for planning conservation efforts, especially in busy agricultural landscapes where nests can be accidentally destroyed by farm machinery.
