GD-Kartu Foundation continues charity project aimed at breeding wild birds on verge of extinction, establishing their populations in wild nature

Within the charitable project, Bidzina Ivanishvili (Founder and Honorary Chair of the Georgian Dream party), his wife Ekaterine Khvedelidze, Bera Ivanishvili’s wife Nanuka Gudavadze and sons Beruka and Dadu Ivanishvilis released a Colchian pheasant, a hazel grouse, and a chukar partridge into the Mtatsminda forest.

According to the GD, the initiative aims to breed wild birds on the verge of extinction and establish their populations in the wild.

With the funding of the Katu Foundation, founded by Ivanishvilis family, a unique breeding facility operates in Sachkhere, where endangered wild birds—the Colchian pheasant, the hazel grouse, and the chukar partridge- are raised and prepared for release into the wild.

As the GD said in its released information, the goal of the initiative is to return birds of a unique breed to their natural habitat, facilitate their breeding, and gradually restore and expand the population.

“The activity is a significant step towards restoring the natural ecosystem and preserving biodiversity,” the GD said.
