SUMMARY:World Migratory Bird Day - Oct 2026
DESCRIPTION:World Migratory Bird Day 2026 Creating Bird-Friendly Cities & Communities\n\n\n\nIn 2026\, WMBD will raise awareness about the many challenges migratory birds face due to human activities and expanding urban development. The campaign will advocate for strategic urban planning and conservation efforts that incorporate bird-friendly practices\, making sure that our communities become havens for these remarkable travelers. The 2025 theme encourages action from all sectors\, including national and local governments\, businesses\, community groups\, and individuals worldwide.  \n\n\n\nAbout World Migratory Bird Day  \n\n\n\nWorld Migratory Bird Day is a global campaign that serves as a beacon for conservation efforts aimed at protecting migratory birds and their journeys across borders. Celebrated twice a year—in May and October—WMBD reflects the cyclical nature of bird migration and the varying peak periods in the northern and southern hemispheres. This worldwide initiative triggers countless educational events\, uniting people in a common goal to protect migratory birds and their habitats.  \n\n\n\nEach year\, WMBD selects a central theme to inspire action and concentrate global efforts towards preserving the habitats and wellbeing of migratory birds. The 2025 theme underscores the urgent need for bird-friendly cities\, combining scientific insights with practical steps for individuals and communities to support these remarkable creatures.  \n\n\n\nThe WMBD campaign is organized by the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS)\, the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (AEWA)\, Environment for the Americas (EFTA)\,  and the East Asian-Australasian Flyway Partnership (EAAFP).  \n\n\n\nJoin us in celebrating World Migratory Bird Day and take part in this global movement to create a brighter future for migratory birds and our shared natural world.  \n\n\n\nFor more information about World Migratory Bird Day and ways to get involved\, please visit www.migratorybirdday.org

SUMMARY:World Soil Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:Soil and water\, a source of life\n\n\n\nOur planet’s survival depends on the precious link between soil and water. Over 95 percent of our food originates from these two fundamental resources. Soil water\, vital for nutrient absorption by plants\, binds our ecosystems together. This symbiotic relationship is the foundation of our agricultural systems. \n\n\n\nHowever\, in the face of climate change and human activity\, our soils are being degraded\, putting excessive pressure on our water resources. Erosion disrupts the natural balance\, reducing water infiltration and availability for all forms of life. \n\n\n\nSustainable soil management practices\, such as minimum tillage\, crop rotation\, organic matter addition\, and cover cropping\, improve soil health\, reduce erosion and pollution\, and enhance water infiltration and storage. These practices also preserve soil biodiversity\, improve fertility\, and contribute to carbon sequestration\, playing a crucial role in the fight against climate change. \n\n\n\nWorld Soil Day 2023 (WSD) and its campaign aim to raise awareness of the importance and relationship between soil and water in achieving sustainable and resilient agrifood systems. WSD is a unique global platform that not only celebrates soils but also empowers and engages citizens around the world to improve soil health. \n\n\n\nBackground\n\n\n\nWorld Soil Day (WSD) is held annually on 5 December as a means to focus attention on the importance of healthy soil and to advocate for the sustainable management of soil resources. \n\n\n\nAn international day to celebrate soil was recommended by the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS) in 2002. Under the leadership of the Kingdom of Thailand and within the framework of the Global Soil Partnership\, FAO has supported the formal establishment of WSD as a global awareness raising platform. The FAO Conference unanimously endorsed World Soil Day in June 2013 and requested its official adoption at the 68th UN General Assembly. In December 2013\, the UN General Assembly responded by designating 5 December 2014 as the first official World Soil Day. \n\n\n\nFind out more: https://www.fao.org/world-soil-day/en/
