Oman marks World Migratory Bird Day
Oman joined the global community in celebrating World Migratory Bird Day on Saturday under the theme 'Bird-Friendly Cities and Communities.' This year's theme seeks to raise awareness on the importance of integrating nature into urban planning, encouraging cities and communities to become safer, greener habitats for migratory birds. In line with this vision, the Environment Authority reaffirmed its efforts to protect the endangered gyrfalcon, a key migratory species. Field specialists recently conducted dedicated surveys on the Dimaniyat and Al Fahal Islands, focusing on tracking and monitoring the species. Identification rings were placed on chicks to support future monitoring and natural nesting sites were evaluated as part of broader protection strategies. Further intensifying its conservation campaign, the Authority also launched a national initiative to combat invasive birds — particularly the myna and Indian crow — which pose a growing threat to Oman's native and migratory bird populations. By May 2025, over 1.2 million invasive birds had been recorded in the country, including approximately 1.03 million mynas and 171,000 Indian crows, underscoring the need for urgent ecological intervention. — ONA
