Birdwatching

Did you know that 8,000 to 10,000 of the world's 1.7 million described species migrate? Most animals migrate for different food sources, a place to over-winter and/or to reproduce. Migrating species are found in every ecosystem on land, in the water and of course, in the air.

This film will allow you to ride along the voyages of 4 different types of migratory birds that spend a part of their life cycle in Canada and show what is done to ensure their survival.

As in previous years, the event includes bird ringing, the release of rehabilitated migratory birds, a photo exhibition, story tellers, "young birdwatchers", an exhibition on threatening factors to endangered bird species, etc.

Se realizaran charlas, observaciones de aves y talleres de artes plásticas sobre las características y la importancia de las aves migratorias y su relación con el ambiente. Estarón dirigidos a estudiantes del nivel inicial (4 a 6 años de edad) en escuelas rurales y de la ciudades de San Miguel de Tucumán y Yerba Buena (Tucumán).

This year's event involves talks and discussions on migratory birds, birding and art workshops on nature and the importance of migratory birds and its relationship with the environment.
