Birdwatching

On the occasion of World Migratory Day, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is raising national awareness on the importance of migratory birds for the ecosystem.

The Italian NGO CELIM and the Albanian Ornithological Society (AOS), together with Tirana European Youth Capital 2022, will organise a conference in Tirana on the potential of birdwatching to enhance the tourism offer in Albania. It will follow an intervention on how light pollution can affect bird migration and thus birdwatching tourism in Albania. After the workshop, there will be a guided birdwatching experience in the Divjaka-Karavasta National Park, a crucial area for bird migration in Albania.

Nanthar Island and Mayyu estuary, one of the six flyway network sites in Myanmar, was also designated as a Ramsar Site in 2020.

This area has been designated as Marine National Park recently, although still lacks of attention for protection due to limited resources.
