In line with this year’s celebration of World Migratory Bird Day and consistent with the theme “Birds Connect our World”, the Society for the Conservation of Philippine Wetlands, Inc. (SCPW) will conduct a webinar dubbed as ”Agricultural Wetlands and Migratory Birds Living in Harmony” on 09 October 2020, to highlight the importance of conserving and restoring the ecological connectivity and integrity of ecosystems that support the natural movements of migratory birds and that are essential for their survival and well-being.
The webinar also aims to highlight how farming communities and migratory birds can exist in harmony with each other. The webinar will primarily reach out to local government officers in agriculture and environment and natural resources offices of local governments in the Candaba Wetlands, so that they understand the link between conserving the wetland (especially as habitats for migratory birds) and the health and well-being of nature and people.
