World Migratory Bird Day<\/strong> is celebrated twice a year, on the second<\/strong> Saturday of May and October<\/strong>, coinciding with the main migratory periods in both hemispheres. This anniversary, promoted by the Convention for the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS)<\/a> and the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA)<\/a> linked to the United Nations Environment Programme<\/a>, seeks to raise awareness of the importance of conserving migratory birds<\/strong> and their<\/strong> routes <\/strong>on a global scale. <\/p>\n

The 2026 motto<\/a> , “Every bird counts \u2013 Your observations matter!”,<\/strong> puts citizen science<\/strong> at the heart of environmental protection. Citizen data collection helps to better understand migratory routes, assess population trends, and detect threats to habitats. This information is essential to guide decision-making<\/strong> and strengthen international cooperation on biodiversity. In addition, social participation strengthens the link with nature and contributes to consolidating a key scientific basis to advance conservation. <\/p>\n

According to the report “The State of the Birds of Spain 2024<\/strong><\/a>“,<\/em><\/strong> published by SEO\/BirdLife, bird populations show a trend of generalized deterioration<\/strong>. In spring, 43% of the species show population declines<\/strong> compared to 1998, while in winter 66% maintain a stable or favorable situation. The report stresses that habitat loss and degradation, intensification of land use, and the effects of climate change remain among the main pressures on birdlife. <\/p>\n

On a global scale, the report “State of the World’s Migratory Species 2024<\/a>“, prepared by CMS, indicates that 44% of migratory species assessed show a decreasing population trend<\/strong> and that more than one in five is threatened with extinction. In addition, 51% of Key Biodiversity Areas<\/strong> relevant to migratory species lack protection. <\/p>\n

BirdLife International<\/a> has also warned of the deterioration of the populations of multiple migratory waders and recalls that in 2024 a total of 16 species were reclassified to categories of greater threat<\/strong>, while those of other species have declined by more than a third in recent decades.<\/p>\n

This context reinforces the importance of international cooperation, habitat restoration and continued scientific monitoring to reverse the situation. Monitoring platforms<\/strong> promoted by entities such as SEO\/BirdLife<\/a> or the EuroBirdPortal<\/a> program integrate millions of citizen science observations<\/strong>, allowing the analysis of migratory routes and distribution of species. This information feeds into public policies and reinforces international cooperation for biodiversity conservation. <\/p>\n

CONSERVATION AND KNOWLEDGE TO PROTECT MIGRATORY ROUTES<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Biodiversity Foundation<\/strong> of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge promotes actions aimed at improving the conservation status of birdlife<\/strong>. Among them is the LIFE Marbled Teal<\/strong><\/a> project, which has focused on the recovery of this critically endangered species. As a result of the actions carried out in the project, coordinated by the Biodiversity Foundation and now completed, record population figures<\/strong> have been recorded with 172 breeding females and 1,427 offspring. <\/p>\n

Also within the framework of the LIFE programme, the Foundation supports initiatives aimed at the conservation of other migratory birds. Projects such as LIFE AWOM<\/strong><\/a> and BAEM<\/strong><\/a> focus on the aquatic warbler<\/strong> (Acrocephalus paludicola<\/em>), one of the most endangered species in Europe. These actions promote the restoration of degraded wetlands, the identification of key areas and the development of a network of climate-resilient enclaves along their migratory route. <\/p>\n

Scientific knowledge is reinforced through projects for the digitization of data on natural heritage such as DIPROCES,<\/strong><\/a> among others, which promotes citizen science<\/strong> through the standardization and publication of wildlife monitoring data. This initiative improves the interoperability of information from consolidated programmes and ensures their open access. <\/p>\n

The protection of birdlife also extends to the marine environment through the Pleamar Programme<\/a>, co-financed by the European Maritime, Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund (FEMPA). In this context, the NORAVES<\/strong><\/a> project assesses the accidental mortality of birds in fishing gear<\/strong> and develops mitigation measures in collaboration with the fisheries sector. <\/p>\n

World Migratory Bird Day highlights that the conservation of these species depends on both international cooperation<\/strong> and societal involvement<\/strong>. Citizen science, habitat restoration and knowledge generation are key tools to protect migratory routes and strengthen biodiversity in a context of global change. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":30,"featured_media":97874741,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"palabras_clave":[],"class_list":["post-97874761","actualidad_home","type-actualidad_home","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nCooperation and knowledge strengthen the conservation of migratory birds -
