Migratory birds need urgent action and support from all actors to address the unprecedented threats they face. Let this #WorldMigratoryBirdDay be a call to listen to the science and redouble efforts to implement evidence-based policies to better protect people & nature. —L. Dziba, IPBES Exec. Sec.
"World Migratory Bird Day" graphic on a light teal textured background. Illustration of a duck (bottom left) and reed grass. Quote: "The recent IPBES Business and Biodiversity Report shows that civil society plays an important role in generating data, knowledge and capacity that can ensure that businesses, state and non-state actors drive positive action for biodiversity. From simple at-home sightings to trained volunteers contributing to coordinated global efforts, such actions can help scientists detect population trends, identify emerging threats and inform conservation measures at local, national and international levels." — Luthando Dziba, Executive Secretary, Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).
