World Curlew Day Celebration
World Curlew Day, held on 21st April annually, is a grassroots initiative that focuses on the global plight of curlews. Created by Mary Colwell in 2017, the day brings attention to the dangers these unique birds face due to various shifting factors.
Human activities such as land use changes and climate change significantly impact curlew populations, so it’s essential that we take responsibility for their protection.
Eastern Curlews in Redland City
In Redland City, Eastern curlews can be spotted on mudflats around Toondah Harbour near the Stradbroke Flyer ferry terminal. These areas serve as important habitats for the curlews, which play a key role in the local ecosystem.
By celebrating World Curlew Day, we have an opportunity to not only raise awareness of the challenges curlews face worldwide but also acknowledge their significance in the Australian market.
Taking Action for Curlews
The celebration of World Curlew Day invites us to appreciate the beauty and importance of curlews in our world. By taking action to protect these birds, we can contribute to the global effort to conserve their habitats and ensure their survival for generations to come.
