KUWAIT: Different kinds of migratory birds fly hundreds and thousands of kilometers to find the best ecological conditions and habitats for feeding, breeding and raising their young.

About 400 bird species consider Kuwait as a safe passage because of the innate life and suitable environment that is why the Kuwaiti government has given great attention to know the life cycle of these birds and established several reserves in the country to secure a safe shelter for them.

The United Nations initiated the World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) in 2006 as an annual awareness-raising campaign to highlight the ecological importance of migratory birds and calls for their global conservation through international cooperation. - KUNA
