World Migratory Bird Day 2014 - Destination
Flyways: Migratory Birds and Tourism
Bonn, 2 April 2014 - Each year on the second weekend in May,
dedicated organizations and people around the world plan events to mark World
Migratory Bird Day. Since World Migratory Bird Day began in 2006, events have
been held in 130 countries and this year we hope to reach even more people
and organizations to connect and work together towards conserving migratory
birds worldwide. This year’s World Migratory Bird Day theme is "Destination Flyways: Migratory Birds and Tourism"
and will highlight the links between migratory bird conservation, local
community development and wildlife watching tourism around the world.

World Migratory Bird Day was initiated in 2006 and is an annual
awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the protection of
migratory birds and their habitats. World Migratory Bird Day is jointly
organized by the Secretariats of the Convention on the Conservation of
Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) and the Agreement on the Conservation of
African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) – two international wildlife
treaties administered by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
– and a growing number of partners, including UNWTO for
the 2014 campaign. [Visit the WMBD Partners & Sponsors Page] This year’s campaign is financially supported by the German Federal
