Saudi Arabia observed on Saturday the World Migratory Bird Day, noting the importance of protecting migratory birds and their habitats, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Themed “Shared Spaces: Creating Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities,” the 2025 celebration highlighted the significance of integrating migratory birds into urban planning. Consequently, it aimed to reduce environmental threats and challenges they encounter in urban areas.
Represented by the National Center for Wildlife (NCW), the Kingdom has been making several efforts to safeguard wildlife, including migratory birds, which form a necessary part of biodiversity.
For example, the Kingdom has regulated hunting, enforced strict laws in line with approved environmental regulations, and coordinated with relevant authorities to guarantee the sustainability of biodiversity.
Through the launch of the Fitri platform, the Kingdom has also facilitated hunting season procedures.
Moreover, NCW conducts field surveys, monitors migration routes, determines the status of each species, updates the national bird list and studies biodiversity hotspots and wetlands.
The center also boosts environmental monitoring and research programs across coastal and wilderness regions.
Migratory birds are a crucial indicator of environmental health as one of the most important components of biodiversity.
Therefore, it has become necessary to abide by regulations and legislation and avoid any human activities that may lead to the destruction of natural environments.
