World Migratory Bird Day is observed twice in a year i.e. on 14th May and 8th October. For this year, the
theme of the day is set to be ‘Light Pollution’. United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) notes,
“Artificial light is increasing globally by at least 2 per cent per year and it is known to adversely affect
many bird species. Light pollution is a significant threat to migratory birds, causing disorientation when
they fly at night, leading to collisions with buildings, perturbing their internal clocks, or interfering with

A camp will be held in a coastal community in the Municipality of San Ignacio, Sinaloa. There will be a talk about the importance of dark nights for the migration of birds, a night tour will be carried out to search for birds and recording sounds which will be used in a small workshop to make musical tracks with sounds of nature.

Objectives:

Wildlife Science and Conservation Center is a leading nature conservation and research organization in Mongolia, and we always considered the World Migratory Bird Day as an important annual event for our public engagement and education. We regularly celebrated the WMBD with the support from EAAFP and other partners. In 2022, we are planning to host WMBD events at two bird ringing stations located eastern and eastern Mongolia. These ringing stations are run by WSCC and dedicated to the songbird migration monitoring and public awareness for Mongolia.

On April 1, the NGO ECO-CARE launched a contest with 17 questions about birds. Students can pick up the form from their teacher, fill in the answers, and bring them back to the same teacher. On April 20, we will collect the forms for correction by school. A transparent draw will be held in each school to select the top 5 students. After the draw, the top 5 students will simulate a training on the answers and a mixed team (NGO ECO-CARE and teachers of the school) will now select the top 2 students and those who explain better.

Our day will be spent celebrating birds and educating the public about the dangers that birds face every day but especially during their long migrations. We will have tables with education, native plants, eco friendly crafts and ambassador raptors in attendance to help spread our messages for birds. Our day will finish with a flying falcons demonstration. 

We are hosting a bird camp and education activity for school kids in Grenada.
