Statement by Mr. Mikaël Poutiers, Bern Convention

The celebration of the World Migratory Bird Day on 12 October 2024 emphasises the critical role insects play in the survival of migratory bird species. These birds rely on the abundance of insects, as one of their primary food sources, to sustain their energy needs, especially during breeding and migration periods.
