Today is World Migratory Bird Day. Did you know that #Pakistan lies at a crossroads for bird migration? The famous route from #Siberia to Pakistan over the #Karakorum, #Hindukush and #Suleiman range along the #IndusRiver down to the delta is International Migratory Bird Route Number 4, also known as the Indus Flyway. Some bird species including common and demoiselle cranes, snipes and pelicans enter the country via the #Kurram Agency, #KyberPakhtunkhwa. Did you also know that every year millions of migratory birds are displaced and die due to collisions and electrocution from power lines? Sustainable renewable energy production is expected to have positive effects on migratory birds by mitigating #climatechange and its impacts. However, if certain energy technologies are deployed without proper planning, design and risk management, they can pose a grave threat to migratory bird species. World Migratory Bird Day this year aims to highlight the importance of deploying energy technologies in a way that prevents, minimizes and mitigates impacts on migratory birds and their habitats. by wwfpak
