Islamabad, Today marks the observance of World Migratory Bird Day, an annual event dedicated to raising awareness and promoting conservation efforts for migratory birds worldwide. This year’s theme, “Protect Insects, Protect Birds,” underscores the crucial relationship between migratory birds and insects, highlighting the need to preserve these vital ecosystems amid declining populations of both birds and their insect prey.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the day serves as a reminder of the essential role insects play in various ecosystems globally. They are a critical food source for migratory birds during their extensive journeys. The declining numbers of both birds and insects have sparked a global call to action to protect these species and their habitats.
World Migratory Bird Day is part of a broader international campaign that seeks to educate the public and foster international cooperation to ensure the survival and health of migratory birds as they traverse national borders. The initiative emphasizes the interconnectedness of nature and the importance of collective efforts in conservation.
