Help Kaua`i National Wildlife Refuge Complex celebrate World Migratory Bird Day and raise awareness for our feathered friends. This year’s theme is: Protect the Birds: Be the Solution to Plastic Pollution.

Lebanon is an important country for migration as it is on the second most important migration routes in the world. There are two types of migrating birds 1) Broad front migrants, mainly small-medium sized birds that travel within the same country in a broad front and can cross water 2) Soaring birds – these are mostly larger birds. These birds soar because they cannot flap over large distances; they gain great height from rising air currents, and then gliding down on broad spread wings.

Let’s clean up the bay at Laguna Atascosa NWR! Everyday trash collects along the Laguna Madre from all around the Gulf of Mexico, a result that can be deadly to wildlife such as birds and marine species. Join us May 11 and our partners EMR and Friends if Laguna Atascosa as we clean up our refuge beaches and restore the home of thousands of species!

Third Graders at Columbia Elementary in Bellingham are participating in World Migratory Bird Day as part of a unit on Ornithology.  Students are researching migratory birds and the challenges they face.  We are partnering with RESources for Sustainable Communities to learn about waste reduction, particularly about reducing the use of plastics at the individual, school, and community level.  As a culminating event, we will take a walking field trip to our local beach to engage in a beach clean-up on Thursday, May 2nd.  Students will also make bird masks and costumes to participate in our cit

The oriental coastal of Cozumel Island is an area of difficult access and high biodiversity. Due to limited access, the coast accumulates plastics and other items that come with the currents.

Conveying periodic beach cleanings, together with volunteers, government and private sector are fundamental to give a chance to the biodiversity that lives there.

Aside from bird watching, monitoring, and a field trip in the wetland where migratory birds are observed, the event will include: a) clean up drive for birds and sanitation; b) exhibit on bird migration in the community; and c) the conduct of “Dalaw Turo” (Dalaw – to visit; Turo – to teach), alternative approach on biodiversity conservation by using street theatre, environmental games, and lectures.

The event’s purpose and objectives are:

1) provide communication, education and public awareness on migratory bird conservation;
