World Migratory Bird Day 2023: How you can contribute to their conservation

World Migratory Bird Day 2023 will focus on the topic of water and its importance for migratory birds. It is celebrated on the second Saturday in May and then in October. Majority of migratory birds rely on aquatic ecosystems. Inland and coastal wetlands, rivers, lakes, streams, marshes, and ponds are all vital for feeding, drinking, or nesting, and also as places to rest and refuel during their long journeys. Unfortunately, aquatic ecosystems are becoming increasingly threatened.
