World Migratory Bird Day in Rwanda

It is proposed that stakeholders, especially the students of high education institutes and Universities (future researcher) and the SSGs of Rwanda, will be trained in wildlife and more particularly bird conservation as a measure to arrest the problem of massive degradation and extinction of their habitat. Information will be spread on threats, ecology and biology and it is expected that this will raise awareness and increase knowledge and love towards nature, and particularly the birds, through research and habitat protection. On Migratory Bird Day (which will be held on 22th April, 2006, as a result of the Genocide Memorials in the weekend of 8-9 April and easter the weekend thereafter) ACNR will (1)organise a trip and bird watch in Nyabarongo wetland (2)stimulate students to carry out research on bird and their habitat (3)spread information on migrating birds to the members of the SSGs
