Mongolian children in areas where the nests are built have been forging links with overseas schools, sharing stories about falconry and their culture.

In return, children overseas have been raising funds to help modernise schools in Mongolia.

The project to link schools in different countries is the latest development to come from the artificial nests programme, which was started in 2009 with funding from the Environment Agency-Abu Dhabi, and aims to help increase the numbers of saker falcons in the wild."
