Activities to mark the campaign will be held globally on two peak days in May and October under the theme “Water: Sustaining Bird Life”.

Bonn, 22 March 2023 - World Water Day, celebrated on March 22, is an ideal moment to contemplate the importance of water to migratory birds.

Follow a small songbird as it is lured into the dangers of the city by intense lights. The threats it faces are common for migrating birds trying to navigate urban environments. By turning out nonessential lighting at night, birds are less likely to become disoriented on their long journeys. Light pollution and its impact on migratory birds is the focus of World Migratory Bird Day 2022, a global campaign that aims to raise awareness of migratory birds and the need for international cooperation to conserve them. The slogan for the 2022 campaign is “Dim the Lights for Birds at Night!”
