On May 7, 2021, the African CSOs Biodiversity Alliance (ACBA) alongside BirdLife International Africa co-hosted a webinar to celebrate World Migratory Bird Day. The event is marked twice a year every second Saturday of May and October to raise awareness and highlight the need for the conservation of migratory birds and their habitats. This year’s theme was ‘Sing, Fly, Soar – Like a bird!’
Attracting over 50 participants from across the continent, the webinar aimed at sensitizing the public on the recent population trends. The wealth of information presented did prove the dire need to collaborate with non-conventional partners in a bid to improve existing policy instruments that are in place to conserve migratory species.
CALGARY Calgary has been named one of the country s four bird friendly cities by the group, Nature Canada. The designation came into effect in Calgary on May 7 along with Toronto, Vancouver and London, Ont. one day ahead of World Migratory Bird Day. There should be a lot of pride, I think sometimes we take for granted what s already happening in our own community,” said Kathleen Johnson, co-founder of the Calgary Migratory Species Response Team. However, Johnson stresses this is only an entry-level certification and more work needs to be done to help bird populations thrive in the city. This particular certification is not meant to be, slap the sticker on your city and you re done, she said.
