World Migratory Bird Day HistoryWorld Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) serves as an annual awareness-raising campaign aimed at highlighting the need for the conservation and celebration of migratory birds and their habitats. Established in 2006, WMBD brings together various organizations, governments, and wildlife enthusiasts across the globe, to encourage and reinforce cooperation in conserving these birds and their ecosystems. Australia is home to a diverse range of migratory bird species, many of which travel vast distances each year through various migratory routes, known as flyways. Some Australian birds use the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, which connects breeding grounds in the Arctic and sub-Arctic to non-breeding areas in the southern hemisphere. Over the years, factors such as habitat loss, climate change, and human intervention have posed significant threats to migratory birds, making the celebration of WMBD in Australia essential to raise public awareness and promote conservation action. World Migratory Bird Day is observed on two peak migratory periods each year, the second Saturday in May and the second Saturday in October. The timing ensures maximum global participation, as migratory birds can be seen moving between the northern and southern hemispheres during this period. In Australia, the event typically includes birdwatching activities, educational programs, and public outreach campaigns, which aim to increase the understanding and appreciation of migratory birds and the need to protect them.
