it is an event  with kids and families where we share our responsabilities towards birds and give awarness and show the importance to save these birds and to help them pass safely and to learn kids to be the ambassodor of peace to raise awarness in the bird conservation

At a small but very diverse wetland in the Algarve, Portugal called Alagoas Brancas (it is a hotspot on eBird) we will introduce children from about 5 to 10 years to birdwatching. We will talk to them about migration of birds and why water is so important. We will do activities to get them involved: such as actual birdwatching,  journaling their observations in a prepared journal that we will hand out before we set off, playing games, singing songs and doing a creative project that the children can take home.

Tram Chim national park is the only one flyway network site of Vietnam. We organise waterbirds count at Tram Chim national park from April 9 to May 13 by volunteers and taking children to the field for birdwatch training. We will help them learn how to use binoculars, telescoope as well as how to identify bird, count and making records on eBird.

Come enjoy many exciting activities, including the Motus kiosk at the Ankeny Hill Nature Center at Ankey National Wildlife Refuge!

Learn how this center provides necessary habitats for migrating birds and learn how tagged migratory birds are detected by the radio tower located on the north side of the building.

The Gulf of Mottama is a Ramsar site in Myanmar and home to a diverse range of species, including up to 150,000 migratory waterbirds during the non-breeding season. The local community's involvement in conservation efforts is crucial for the long-term success of conservation programs and the sustainability of the wetlands and species that depend on them.
