In case you're worried about birds and environmental issues you should have a look at this awareness rising initiative:
World Migratory Bird Day 2008
This year’s WMBD on 10 – 11 May will focus on the theme “Migratory Birds – Ambassadors for Biodiversity’. The event, which has taken place in May for three years running, is a global awareness campaign that aims to inspire people to take action for the conservation of migratory birds.
Birds are some of the best indicators for the status and trends of biodiversity around the world, as they inhabit virtually all the ecosystems in the world. Throughout their annual cycle, migratory birds cross many countries and continents, some of them from the tundra to the tropics, linking different ecosystems. By conserving them and their environment, we ensure the conservation of biodiversity on a wider scale.
