Environment for the Americas coordinates WMBD in the Americas to increase awareness and motivate conservation of the migratory birds we share across borders. It is a celebration of one of the most important and spectacular events in the life of a migratory bird -its journey between breeding and non-breeding grounds. The program was created by Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center to focus public attention on the need for action to conserve birds and their habitats.

Clark County Wetlands Park hosts its 5th Annual Migratory Bird Day with birding walks, Discovery Stations, activities, crafts and more.

Painting Migratory Birds

Environmental education activity that seeks to sensitize children, youth and adults to the processes of bird migration in the Neotropics through painting, video and music. This activity has been carried out for 6 years and has generated valuable contributions to the knowledge of birds and their mirgration in the Central Andes of Colombia.

     We, UKM HIMPUS - student representation of Veterinary Faculty of Syiah Kuala University, will carry out our second organized event to spread the word about WMBD. In 2015, UKM HIMPUS participated in a WMBD event organized by Aceh Birder. In 2016 - 2017 UKM HIMPUS continued WMBD celebrations as an organizer. So, this year we would like to continue our engagement in WMBD celebrations.

The series of activities that we propose starting in April 30th and then May 13th, 2018 as the peak of the celebration, namely:

San Diego National Wildlife Refuge Complex and California State Parks are partnering to offer an educational event at an up and coming location on San Diego Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The areas surrounding the Bayside Birding and Walking trail have undergone extensive habitat restoration and is seeing heightened traffic due to the opening of the adjacent Bikeway Village. World Migratory Bird day is a great time to familiarize locals with this beautiful resource and kick off monthly guided bird tours with a volunteer event, art projects, and birding tutorials!

BirdLife Iceland, The Icelandic Institute of Natural History, The South Iceland Research Centre of University of Iceland and Katla UNESCO Global Geopark will jointly host a birdwatching and an educational event on May 12th.
