The Caribbean Endemic Birds Festival (CEBF) has been celebrated annually across the region since 2002, and the festival usually runs from Earth Day (22nd April) to World Biodiversity Day (22nd May). This will be the eighth consecutive year that Dominica participates in this Bird Festival , the purpose of which is to raise public awareness and appreciation of our region’s exceptionally rich and threatened bird life. The Caribbean’s celebrated endemic birds are used as flagship species for conservation throughout the region.
The theme chosen by the Society for the Conservation and Study of Caribbean Birds for this year’s festival is “Go Wild… Go Birding”. This is to highlight our focus on reaching out to youths and adults alike in learning about birds, birding and bird conservation, while enjoying the outdoors.
Hats off to you extremely hard working fellas, hope to be there!
Should be interesting. I’ll be there!!
