Light pollution is a threat to migratory birds, causing disorientation when they fly at night🌃 It can lead to collisions with buildings, disturbing their internal clocks & interfering with their ability to undertake long-distance migrations. #WMBD2022 #DimLightsforBirds

"The decline of many migratory species´ populations can be attributed to a combination of direct mortality and the indirect impact of habitat loss, pollution, migration barriers & the disruption of their annual cycles" #WMBD2022 CMS Exec Sec Amy Fraenkel unfccc.int/blog/flight-pa…

Tomorrow's #WorldMigratoryBirdDay focuses on the importance of #WaterForBirds. Water is fundamental to life on our planet 🌍. Migratory birds & people need water 💦to survive! Yet aquatic ecosystems are increasingly threatened & so are the migratory birds that depend on them.

Migratory birds depend on aquatic ecosystems, but these habitats are under threat worldwide. It’s time for action to protect our aquatic ecosystems! #WorldMigratoryBirdDay #WaterForBirds Convention on Migratory Species (CMS)
