During World Migratory Bird Day 2026 activities, the Libyan Society for Birds (LSB) documented several bird species inside the Shafayeen Nature Reserve, highlighting the environmental importance of the area for both resident and migratory birds.

Field monitoring activities recorded 22 bird species, with a total of 286 birds observed during the event. The recorded species included both resident and migratory birds that rely on the reserve’s natural habitats.

The observations confirmed the importance of continuing bird monitoring and documentation efforts, as well as protecting natural habitats that provide safe areas for birds in Libya.

Under the slogan:
“Every Bird Counts, Your Observations Matter,”

the society emphasized that every observation and every record helps improve understanding of bird populations and biodiversity, while supporting conservation efforts across the country.

Protect the birds…
Protect nature…
Every bird plays a role in keeping the environment balanced.
