On WMBD 2007 the Nationalparkhaus on the island Juist offers all interested people to take part in a birdwatching activity during sunset on the occasion of World Migratory Bird Day.
We will held a Big Bird Race at tidal flat to watch wader or snipe birds migrated from Australia.
We expect that more than 150 students and people would participate this event to watch migratory Birds and local company supporters for wetland conservations willingly funded to protect the birds.
The student team will be seperated into 12 groups around Bongam tidal flat which is artificially restortated by NGOs and citizens and only suburb area to watch the sensitive and week bird species.
To celebrate the WMBD 2007 Association \"Les Amis des Oiseaux\" (AAO), the BirdLife International Partner in Tunisia, is joining hands with the Regional Activities Center for Specially Protected Areas (RAC/SPA), who is funding the planned events, and the Media Library in Ariana.
The following five events are planned:
Memebers meet at 8.30 a.m. at the old Kijabe Environment Volunteers Office. Activities for the day include birding at the Bathi dam, a procession through Kimende town, tree planting,talks and a video. Refreshments will be served after the event,
This set of events includes a presentation on the topic of \'Migratory Birds and Climate Change\' (French) and a visit to a local Ramsar site in Madagascar. WMBD will further be promoted as part of this.
