World Migratory Birds Day

The theme of this World Migratory Bird Day is Sing, Fly, Soar – Like a Bird!

At UNESCO World Heritage Center, we support natural sites around the world in their conservation efforts, which enable animals to maintain their natural behavior in healthy habitats.

Birdsong is not only fun to listen to, but scientists and site managers can use it to assess the state of conservation of a forest. In 2020, a study was published by the Guanacaste Conservation Area (Costa Rica), where biodiversity was used as an indicator of biodiversity. The results show that the older the forest, the more uninhabited it is, due to the increase in the number of birds. Older, healthier forests are more diverse and provide a better environment for the species they support.

Conservation also includes the protection of sites that make a significant stopping place for migratory birds. You can learn more about the migrating habits of birds and watch a video showing them along with major world heritage sites such as Bench D’Argine National Park (Mauritania), Djoudj National Bird Park (Senegal) and Wadden Sea (Denmark , Germany). Netherlands).

And for the simple pleasure of listening to Birdsong, you can enjoy a song by Wren, the composer of the Malabar Whistling Thrush from the Central Amazon Conservation Complex (Brazil) or the Western Ghats (India).
