“This expedition is marvellously imaginative and adventurous, and a fitting project in WWT’s 70th anniversary. Peter Scott did similar in his day and inspired the world. That swans should fly from Russia, to come here, is surely a kind of parable - we can live in harmony with nature, and it’s up to us to do so.”
“Flight of the Swans is absolutely fascinating, full of adventure and passion. I’m proud to support it. We need to work together if we’re to help these beautiful birds, and I am looking forward to following the expedition”
"I’m delighted that the Transglobe Expedition Trust is supporting the Flight of the Swans with one of our biggest ever grants. My fellow trustees and I were very impressed by the ambitious and innovative plans for such a worthwhile project."
