Festival

Environment for the Americas coordinates WMBD in the Americas to increase awareness and motivate conservation of the migratory birds we share across borders. It is a celebration of one of the most important and spectacular events in the life of a migratory bird -its journey between breeding and non-breeding grounds. The program was created by Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center to focus public attention on the need for action to conserve birds and their habitats.

Clark County Wetlands Park hosts its 5th Annual Migratory Bird Day with birding walks, Discovery Stations, activities, crafts and more. A free, family-friendly event at the Wetlands Park Nature Center. Partners include the Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee, Red Rock Audubon Society, Bureau of Reclamation Lower Colorado River Multi-Species Conservation Program, Nevada Department of Wildlife, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Get Outdoors Nevada, Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve, the Nevada Dept. of Transportation, and Las Vegas-Clark County Libraries

     We, UKM HIMPUS - student representation of Veterinary Faculty of Syiah Kuala University, will carry out our second organized event to spread the word about WMBD. In 2015, UKM HIMPUS participated in a WMBD event organized by Aceh Birder. In 2016 - 2017 UKM HIMPUS continued WMBD celebrations as an organizer. So, this year we would like to continue our engagement in WMBD celebrations.

The series of activities that we propose starting in April 30th and then May 13th, 2018 as the peak of the celebration, namely:

Description: Indoor festival with booths, presentations, and activities for adults and kids including a live raptor demonstration. Door prizes and gifts for moms. We may also offer field trips at local sites.
