Forty years after the designation of its first site at Delaware Bay, WHSRN continues to demonstrate how collaboration across borders can help safeguard shorebirds and the habitats they depend upon throughout the Americas.
Awareness days are not replacements for conservation work. They are recurring moments that keep species, habitats, and migration systems visible in public life — and part of a wider conservation ecosystem built by many different people and initiatives.
The Global Shorebird Counts was built around a simple idea: every place matters. From internationally important wetlands to overlooked inland fields, local observations help reveal a much larger picture of migration and change.
