World Migratory Bird Day was observed across the world today. The day highlights the important role of citizen science in the conservation of diverse species of birds that pass through continents.
The campaign, which is observed on the second Saturday of May every year, highlights this year’s theme, ‘Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter!’. The slogan clearly highlights the importance of community input in the conservation of migratory avian populations.
This worldwide awareness initiative, supported by the United Nations, seeks to draw attention to the imperative need for preserving migratory birds and the essential habitats they rely upon for survival.
Information regarding these observances has been disseminated by Radio Pakistan.
