On Saturday, May 9, 2026, the Libyan Society for Birds (LSB) celebrated World Migratory Bird Day inside the Shafayeen Nature Reserve, in cooperation with the Zoology Department at the Faculty of Science, University of Tripoli, and with the participation of the Msallata Scout Group.

World Migratory Bird Day is a global environmental awareness campaign held every year in May and October to highlight the importance of protecting migratory birds and their natural habitats. The event also raises awareness about the threats birds face during migration and the important role they play in the environment.

This year’s theme was:
Every Bird Counts ,,, Your Observations Matter.

The Libyan Society for Birds thanked the management of Shafayeen Nature Reserve and the Msallata Scout Group for their support, hospitality, and contribution to the success of the environmental event.
