International Migratory Bird Day (IMBD), the signature program of EFTA, is the only international education program that highlights and celebrates the migration of nearly 350 species of migratory birds between nesting habitats in North America and non-breeding grounds in Latin America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Each year IMBD explores a different aspect of migratory birds and their conservation.
In 2017, International Migratory Bird Day celebrates the importance of the habitats and encourages everyone to get involved in protecting the breeding areas where birds may need to rest and refuel.
