01
Reduce light pollution
Up to 70 % of nocturnal migrant birds are disoriented by artificial light. Night switch-offs and warmer colour temperatures measurably help — documented by BirdLife.

Who travels when the currents call.
Eight species, real routes, climate-shifted timing. Pick one or let them all flow at once. The dot along each path marks where the animal typically stands this month.

Arrival timing has shifted. Negative values: earlier than fifty years ago.
Three levers that actually work
02
Protect stopover habitats
Mudflats, wetlands, mountain forests — the one or two critical rest sites of a migration are the highest-leverage conservation targets. Wetlands International coordinates internationally.
03
Plan climate corridors
Species need climatic continuity along their routes, not isolated protected areas. IUCN and BirdLife are building climate-connected protected-area networks.
