De observadores a guardiões: a ciência comunitária está transformando a conservação das aves migratórias. Milhões de entusiastas geram hoje o que pesquisadores sozinhos não alcançariam. @Pnuma_Official news.un.org/pt/story/2026/…

#CadaAveConta | Para a artista Luísa Lacerda , observar pássaros virou arte e ação pela proteção das migratórias. 🌎 Neste #DiaMundialDasAvesMigratórias (9/5), lembramos: cada registro ajuda a ciência — e cada ave conta. 🐦💚 @BonnConvention @AEWA @eaafp @environmentamericas

تنطلق ملايين الطيور مرتين كل عام في رحلات ملحمية تُعدّ من أعظم عجائب العالم الطبيعي. لكن رحلات الطيور، الكبيرة والصغيرة، مليئة بالمخاطر. في #اليوم_العالمي_للطيور_المهاجرة، اكتشفوا كيف أصبحت مدينتا سياتل وإسطنبول ملاذين آمنين لهذه الطيور الثمينة: unep.org/ar/alakhbar-wa…

On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay we celebrate migratory birds & the people helping protect them through community science & local action. This year’s theme “Every Bird Counts–Your Observations Matter” echoes the spirit of #IDB: acting locally for global impact 🔗worldmigratorybirdday.org

Want to travel like a pro? Take inspiration from migratory birds! They master long-distance journeys, refuelling and soaring nonstop. This World Migratory Bird Day, let’s protect these incredible travellers! 👉 buff.ly/3rI2Rmm #WMBD2026 #NEASPEC

To mark #WorldMigratoryBirdDay UNFICYP organized a bi-communal bird watching activity in Kalkanli/Kapouti with children and their families in cooperation with @birdlifecyprus and @Kuskor. The day highlights the urgent need for #ClimateAction to protect them from threats like habitat loss, plastic pollution, and the climate crisis. #A4P More 👉 worldmigratorybirdday.org

Today is World Migratory Bird Day. The theme is “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter!” highlighting the important role of community science for the conservation of migratory birds. A view of a Shrike in Kenya (1990) #WMBD2026 UN Photo

🦩🌍 #WorldMigratoryBirdDay Millions of birds travel thousands of kilometres from Siberia & Central Asia to India’s wetlands each year, only to find critical habitats under pressure. Today, we commit to protecting their journey. On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, @UNDP_India & @moefcc announce CoHABITAT - @theGEF-supported project protecting wetlands, forests & grasslands along the Central Asian Flyway. Because the sky has no fences. Neither can our commitment to conservation. #WorldMigratoryBirdDay2026

Today is World Migratory Bird Day, and we’re here for it! 🐦 Since 1987, Kennedy teams have tracked varieties of birds like roseate spoonbills, wood storks, herons, egrets, and more to monitor habitat use, nesting trends, and wetland health. We continue aerial and ground surveys and spring colony checks to help protect these birds across the spaceport’s coastal ecosystem. Check out some photos from our latest survey.

🐦 Happy World Migratory Bird Day! Climate change and habitat loss are making migration harder and more dangerous for many species. The 🇪🇺 #LIFEProject - LIFE4AquaticWarbler is restoring habitats across the EU. More: aquaticwarbler.eu/life4aquaticwa…

It’s #WorldMigratoryBirdDay! 🐦🌍 Millions of people around the world contribute vital data on migratory birds through citizen science — helping track migration patterns, population trends, and habitat changes across flyways. These observations support research, conservation, and policy, while also raising awareness and inspiring stewardship for nature.

Today we celebrate the incredible journeys of migratory birds — nature’s long‑distance travellers whose flights connect continents. Migratory birds aren’t just beautiful to watch — they’re vital indicators of our planet’s health. Their epic routes cross oceans, deserts, and borders, reminding us that protecting them means protecting the shared environment we all depend on. Join us in honoring their resilience and the ecosystems that sustain them. #MigratoryBirdsDay #ConventionOnWetlands youtu.be/XRnYh7pWoYk
