‘Migratory birds help with seed dispersal, pollination and pest control’ Karachi May 10, 2021 During the past two years Pakistan has witnessed a rise in the population of migratory birds across its water bodies, and by conserving its wetlands, banning bird hunting and raising awareness among the locals about biodiversity conservation, Pakistan can become a safe haven for migratory birds. This was stated by the WWF-Pakistan through a press release released on the occasion of World Migratory Birds Day, which is observed every year on May 8. From plastic pollution to habitat loss and the impacts of climate change, migratory birds are increasingly under threat from human activities and interventions.
