World Migratory Bird Day 12-13 May 2012

World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) is a global awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the protection of migratory birds and their habitats. On the second weekend each May, people around the world take action and organise public events such as bird festivals, education programmes and birdwatching excursions to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day and to help raise awareness around a specific theme. The theme for World Migratory Bird Day 2012 is “Migratory birds and people – together through time”.
