Kakhi Jordania is a world-renowned Master Falconer, Conservationist, and Cultural Preservationist from Tbilisi, Georgia, whose life bridges the ancient art of falconry with modern conservation science. Guided by the landscapes of the Caucasus Mountains and a family tradition of harmony with nature, Kakhi has devoted his life to protecting birds of prey and preserving one of humanity’s oldest partnerships — that between falcon and falconer. Introduced to falconry as a child by his grandfather, Kakhi’s passion took flight at the age of ten when he witnessed a golden eagle descend from the cliffs of Kazbegi. His journey from apprentice falconer to global conservation leader is marked by deep cultural reverence, scientific curiosity, and decades of hands-on experience. After training under master falconers in Georgia, Central Asia, and Mongolia, he developed a rare mastery of both traditional and modern falconry techniques. As the Founder of the Caucasus Raptor Conservation Initiative (CRCI), Kakhi has led groundbreaking efforts to protect endangered raptors, rehabilitate injured birds, and teach new generations about ecological balance. Under his leadership, CRCI has rescued over 400 raptors, partnered with UNESCO to secure recognition of Georgian falconry as an intangible cultural heritage, and introduced satellite tracking programs for migratory falcons and eagles. A frequent speaker and demonstrator at international cultural festivals from Abu Dhabi to Berlin, Kakhi shares his passion through storytelling, live flight exhibitions, and conservation education. His philosophy defines falconry as a sacred dialogue between humanity and the wild — a practice rooted in respect, patience, and trust. Kakhi is also the author of Wings of the Caucasus, an award-winning memoir and cultural history of Georgian falconry translated into five languages. His contributions have earned him global recognition, including the UNESCO Cultural Heritage Advocate Award (2019) and the Global Conservation Award (2021).
