➤ Celebrated twice a year — on the second Saturdays of May and October, this international awareness day highlights the importance of migratory birds, the habitats they depend on, and the threats they face.
Migratory birds travel thousands of kilometers across continents, carrying the seeds of biodiversity. Along the way, they face growing challenges such as habitat destruction, climate change, hunting, and especially plastic pollution.
📌 The slogan changes annually, but the central message remains:
Protect birds — and by doing so, protect nature and people.
