Every year, millions of migratory birds fly long distances across the world. However, a 2024 report by the IUCN showed that 30% of migratory bird species had gone down in number, and 15% were endangered.
Migratory birds today face serious problems. Climate change is affecting their migration routes and resting places. For example, Arctic terns fly from the north to the south of the earth every year, but now ice melts earlier. They have less time to raise their young babies. At the same time, the wetlands, places for them to rest and eat during their journey, are being changed to cities and farms.
Illegal hunting is another danger. In some areas, birds are caught for their feathers, meat, or to be sold as pets. In 2023, a large illegal hunting group in Southeast Asia was found to have killed more than 10,000 migratory birds in just half a year.
Thankfully, people around the world are acting to protect these birds. The "Wings of Hope" campaign started in 2024 to encourage all people and organisations to protect migratory birds. Volunteers have built man-made wetlands and feeding stations along migration routes. In China, local groups run "bird-watching stations" to watch over the birds. Scientists also use GPS trackers to study their migration routes in order to protect their habitats.
All living creatures share the same earth. Protecting them is not just about saving birds; it is about keeping the earth healthy for our children.
