World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) is an annual campaign dedicated to conserving migratory birds and their habitats to raise awareness about the challenges these birds face and the importance of international collaboration.
Every year, people around the world come together for WMBD by organizing public events such as bird festivals, educational programs, exhibitions, and bird-watching excursions.
Uniting under a Global Theme
This year's theme is "water" and highlights the crucial role aquatic ecosystems play in the lives of migratory birds.
Water is essential to life on our planet, and migratory birds heavily rely on inland and coastal wetlands, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water for their survival. Unfortunately, these ecosystems are facing increasing threats due to human activity, putting migratory birds at risk.

This October, join the global movement to protect migratory birds and their habitats by participating in our upcoming WMBD events!
