“Protect insects, protect birds” is the theme of this year’s World Migratory Bird Day, which will be celebrated on May 11, to mark the spring migration in the Northern Hemisphere. This year the focus will be on insects and their importance to migratory birds. Insects provide essential nutrition for many migratory bird species, crucial for their survival. For many species, the success of their migrations depends on the presence of insects.

World Migratory Bird Day 2024 shines a spotlight on the relationship between migratory birds and insects amidst alarming declines for both. World Migratory Bird Day is a global campaign that educates and promotes conservation efforts for migratory birds and their journeys across borders. It raises awareness about the challenges birds face and encourages conservation actions worldwide.
