World Migratory Bird Day 2025 Animation 'Shared Spaces' (Short ver.)

Описание: World Migratory Bird Day is a global campaign to raise awareness about the importance of protecting migratory birds and their habitats. Celebrated mainly on the second Saturdays of May and October, WMBD features bird festivals, educational events, and bird-watching activities around the world.

To support this effort, the East Asian–Australasian Flyway Partnership and its global partners— The Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals, The Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds, and Environment for the Americas— are working to protect migratory birds and their habitats across the world’s major flyways.

The 2025 theme, “Shared Spaces: Creating Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities,” invites us to reflect on how we share our environments with birds and how we can build communities that support better coexistence.

Profile of the main actor 'Red Knot (Calidris canutus)':
The Red Knot is a migratory shorebird that travels long distances, moving between wetlands, coastal areas, and marshes from the Canadian Arctic all the way to Tierra del Fuego in South America, including the Caribbean. The subspecies of Red Knot (piersmai and rogersi) migrate along the East Asian–Australasian Flyway. It feeds on hard-shelled mollusks and other soft invertebrates like shrimp, crabs, marine worms, and horseshoe crab eggs. However, global coastal development is threatening the stopover sites these birds rely on during migration. Tourist developments, oil spills, plastic pollution, and rising sea levels are all impacting the quality of these critical habitats.
