On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, @unep.org explains how birds show us the health of ecosystems.
And find out how community & citizen science is helping conserve migratory birds across the world. Contribute your observations now! www.worldmigratorybirdday.org
@ramsar.orgReposted by @cms.intAs Iman Ebrahimi, Voice for Wetlands, reminds us: “Every observation matters because it creates more than a data point. When someone notices a bird, identifies it and shares that observation, a small connection begins between that person, the bird and conservation.” #WorldMigratoryBirdDay
@unep.orgReposted by @cms.intMigratory birds make incredible journeys every year, but habitat loss, pollution and climate change are pushing many into decline.

@rspbscience.bsky.socialReposted by @cms.intThe series brings together voices from across the world to show how people,
organisations and communities are working together to protect migratory birds
throughout their journeys

@cms.intShared observations, collected through digital platforms and citizen science, help conserve migratory birds across borders and flyways.
On #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, CMS Executive Secretary Andy Raine explains why every observation counts.

@unep.orgReposted by @cms.intWhat if a single bird could tell us the health of an entire ecosystem?
In Botswana, the Slaty Egret is a key indicator species for the Okavango Delta.
This #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, watch how migratory birds connect ecosystems across continents.
@cms.intHappy #WorldMigratoryBirdDay! 🐦🌍
Step outside, look up and record the birds you see. Every observation helps conserve migratory birds - "#EveryBirdCounts – Your Observations Matter!".

45% of migratory bird species are in decline, but every sighting helps. Join BirdLife’s Race to Save Birds: get sponsored for every bird you see and help protect migratory birds. www.birdlife.org/getcounting/
@minamataconvention.bsky.socialReposted by @cms.intMercury can harm fish-eating birds, while migratory species can carry it over long distances, as far as the Arctic.
Ahead of #WorldMigratoryBirdDay, we highlight the impacts of mercury on birds and biodiversity.

@cms.intA look inside the CMS Workshop on the Atlas of Animal Migration in Vasto, Italy.
Experts from around the world are bringing together new data, technologies and expertise to better understand how animals move across our planet and how those journeys can be protected: www.cms.int/meeting/cms-...
@cms.intWorld Migratory Bird Day is this Saturday, 10 October! This year’s theme, “Every Bird Counts – Your Observations Matter!”, is all about how your observations can help us better understand and protect migratory birds.

@cms.intThis week, international experts are gathering in Vasto, Italy, to advance the Atlas of Animal Migration, a global initiative under CMS that aims to bring together knowledge on where migratory animals travel, the places they depend on and the routes that connect them: www.cms.int/meeting/cms-...
@cms.intNew #TurtleTuesday stories explore how protected-area designations & habitat restoration can safeguard critical habitats & support marine turtle recovery over the long term.
Plus a message for non-turtle biologists!

@cms.intCMS attended the 70th @iwc-whales.bsky.social meeting #IWC70 because protecting migratory marine life requires cross-border collaboration.
A major highlight was the adoption of the joint IWC-CMS Conservation Management Plan for the endangered Arabian Sea humpback whale: www.cms.int/sites/defaul...
@cms.intNew study analysed tracking data from 13,000+ birds across 44 species. New seasonal maps of the waters they rely on show high seas are as important as national waters, yet much less protected.
Seabird conservation requires international cooperation through CMS and others: doi.org/10.1111/con4...
@cms.intThe world’s largest Bukhara deer population lives in Uzbekistan’s Lower Amu Darya region, where human activity and climate change are degrading and fragmenting its habitats. 🦌🌳
A new action plan aims to strengthen habitat connectivity and support the deer: cami.cms.int/news/strengt...
@cms.intThe guanaco is South America’s largest native ungulate. In North Patagonia some migrate across the slopes of Argentina’s Auca Mahuida volcano but face habitat degradation. The new @migratinghooves.bsky.social map traces the first guanaco migrations documented in the area: www.cms.int/gium/migrati...
@cms.intNorth Africa is a critical region for migratory birds. Government and NGO experts are meeting in Tangier, Morocco, for a 3-day workshop on national action plans to tackle the illegal killing, taking and trade of migratory birds in the region.
More about the workshop: www.cms.int/meeting/work...
@cms.intPartnerships are at the 💚 of this week’s #TurtleTuesday stories.
Coastal communities, Indigenous Rangers, fishers, scientists and tourism partners are combining their knowledge and resources to tackle shared challenges and protect sea turtles & their habitats: iosea-turtles.cms.int/25th-anniver...
