Festival

En referencia a la celebración del día mundial de las aves migratorias tendremos una feria, para brindar información y generar espacios de reflexión sobre las conservación de las aves y sus hábitats, tendremos una visita guiada a la reserva natural de bosque seco y un ciclo de conferencias con ornitólogos especializados en el tema.

In line with this year’s World Migratory Bird Day, we have planned a fair in order to provide information and increase awareness on the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats.

At least 45 teachers and youth from St.Petersburg will visit farmlands in Olonets region during the time of geese spring migration stop-over to look at the outstanding natural beauty of this site.

The spring aggregations of geese and other migrating waterfowl species on the Olonets fields are the largest in Europe. The reasons for this are the rich forage that vast farmland offers, and availability of overnight shelter on Ladoga Lake and nearby wetlands.

As in previous years, the event includes bird ringing, the release of rehabilitated migratory birds, a photo exhibition, story tellers, "young birdwatchers", an exhibition on threatening factors to endangered bird species, etc.

This year's WMBD event involves various activities, such as an exhibition, educational programs on the the importance of migratory birds in life, birdwatching sessions and film screenings.

This year's event includes a photo competition as well as various other competitions and also birdwatching activities.

Furthermore, media related to migratory birds will be present and discussions on this topic are planned.

Nature Conservation Committee in association with Birds Bangladesh, Nijhumdweep Wetland Center will organise music, dance and a lecture on saving migratory birds. A film will be shown on migratory birds as well as a bird photo exhibition. A children painting contest on birds will also be part of the programme.

The Brisbane City Council in Australia is celebrating the '2010 World Migratory Bird Day' with a free community music festival on 9 May 2010.

This festival aims to raise awareness on protecting migratory birds and their habitat.
