Promoting conservation and the creation of bird-friendly environments within our made-made communities.

World Migratory Bird Day 2025 promotes the importance of a healthy coexistence between humans and birds by focusing on creating bird-friendly communities and cities. The campaign will raise awareness about the challenges migratory birds face due to human activities and urban development, promoting conservation and the creation of bird-friendly environments within our made-made communities. It will advocate for various actions from citizens, such as planting native flowers and gardens and transforming urban areas into sanctuaries for migratory birds. Additionally, it will promote local and global collaboration in urban planning to incorporate green and blue spaces and other bird-friendly practices.

The celebration of World Migratory Bird Day 2025 will offer practical steps for communities and individuals to support migratory birds and reduce the man-made threats they face in our urban environments and communities..
