Today is World Migratory Bird Day. It is an annual awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats.
The day has a global outreach and is an effective tool to help raise global awareness of the threats faced by migratory birds, their ecological importance, and the need for international cooperation to conserve them.
The Convention on Migratory Species, the African-Eurasian Water bird Agreement and Environment for the Americas have joined forces to strengthen global recognition and appreciation of migratory birds.
This year the theme of World Migratory Bird Day is “Protect Birds: Be the Solution to Plastic Pollution!” and it puts the spotlight on the impact of plastic pollution on migratory birds and their habitats.
