World Migratory Bird Day HistoryWorld Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) is an annual, global event that celebrates the remarkable journeys and vital role of migratory birds in maintaining the balance of our ecosystems. The observance of this day serves to raise awareness of the multitude of threats faced by these birds in their arduous journey across continents, including habitat loss, pollution, and climate change. By focusing on the need for international cooperation and conservation efforts, WMBD aims to preserve these incredible avian adventurers for future generations to marvel at and appreciate. Starting in 2006, WMBD has its roots in the collaboration between the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA). Through various events and activities, such as birdwatching, educational programs, and community engagement, the celebration highlights the significant contribution of migratory birds in South Africa, particularly as they traverse between breeding and non-breeding grounds globally. Key aspects of the day include promoting research to better understand migratory patterns, working with local governments to protect critical habitats, and fostering a greater connection between people and the natural world. In South Africa, as in other countries, World Migratory Bird Day takes place on the second Saturday of May and October each year, allowing for the recognition of both the spring and autumn migration cycles. By joining in the celebration, South Africans can contribute to a greater understanding and protection of these feathered travellers, securing their place in our skies for generations to come.
