World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) has revealed its 2025 campaign theme: “Creating Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities.” The campaign will emphasize sustainable urban planning and community-based efforts that protect migratory bird species amid rapid urbanization. With increasing pressure on natural ecosystems due to expanding cities, WMBD 2025 aims to promote harmony between humans and migratory birds across both urban and rural landscapes.
On 14 November 2024, the organizing partners of World Migratory Bird Day (CMS, AEWA, EFTA, and EAAFP) officially announced the 2025 theme, calling for urgent global action to create safer, more sustainable urban spaces for migratory birds. The announcement highlights the dual celebration dates for 2025: 10 May and 11 October, aligning with migration peaks in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
