World Migratory Bird Day is a United Nations initiative that recognizes the importance of birds as key indicators of the health of our environment. Better management of birds and their habitats through initiatives such as Vancouver's Greenest City 2020 Action Plan will benefit birds and residents. Since Greater Vancouver has some of the world's most important habitat and over 407 bird species, it is the perfect place to lead the country in celebrating World Migratory Bird Day.
