Contribute to the global WMBD campaign

The World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) website is the information centre of the global WMBD campaign. You can use the website to learn more about WMBD, to register your event and find out about what others are doing around the world, to download WMBD information materials and to read up on the latest WMBD news. We see it as our central hub for information dissemination and as a vehicle through which we can try to reach out to bird enthusiasts and interested people around the world. Our goal is to use the growing infrastructure of the World Wide Web to communicate globally and to help stimulate knowledge of, and international participation in WMBD.

But the WMBD website is only the start - with your help the WMBD can be much much more. Let's make World Migratory Bird Day 2023 the most successful ever!
