About
For Kakhi Jordania, falconry is not just a skill — it is a way of life, a philosophy, and a bridge between generations. A native of Tbilisi, Georgia, Kakhi has dedicated his life to the ancient art of falconry, using it as a means to promote conservation, cultural heritage, and human connection with the natural world. From his first encounter with a golden eagle at age ten, Kakhi’s fascination with raptors became a lifelong calling. He studied the art under Georgian and Central Asian masters, learning that true falconry is as much about empathy and patience as it is about training. Over the years, he evolved from apprentice to teacher, traveling across continents to share his expertise and advocate for the preservation of endangered species. Through his organization, the Caucasus Raptor Conservation Initiative, Kakhi has transformed passion into measurable impact — protecting hundreds of raptors, educating communities, and ensuring that Georgia’s falconry traditions remain alive in the modern era. His exhibitions at global festivals merge art, science, and storytelling, captivating audiences while raising awareness for wildlife conservation. At home in the hills outside Tbilisi, Kakhi lives with his wife, Nino, and their two children, caring for rescued birds in a sanctuary that blurs the line between family life and environmental mission. A painter and musician, he finds creative expression in both nature and art, often depicting raptors in flight while playing the panduri, a traditional Georgian instrument. Honored as a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Advocate and recipient of the Global Conservation Award, Kakhi continues to inspire a new generation to see falconry as a living conversation between humanity and the wild.
