World Migratory Bird Day : 13 May 2018. In October 2017, Environment for the Americas, the Convention on Migratory Species and the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds announced a partnership to increase awareness of the plight of migratory birds around the world. The new partnership formally unites two of the world's largest bird education campaigns – International Migratory Bird Day and World Migratory Bird Day – in a bid to strengthen global recognition and appreciation of migratory birds and highlight the urgent need for their conservation. The partnership has collaborated on a new World Migratory Bird Day, and major events to celebrate the Day, will be organized twice a year, on the second Saturday in May and in October. The Day reinforces education and awareness-raising about the need to protect migratory birds and their habitats throughout the flyways, underlying the fact that bird conservation is a global issue. With Unifying our Voices for Bird Conservation as its theme for 2018, in the “Year of the Bird”, the Day is an opportunity for people around the world to compare their experiences and concerns, share their stories and activities, and make their voices and actions reach out even further. https://www.facebook.com/events/788633967997076/?ti=as
