migratory bird treaties

Migratory bird treaties are international agreements between countries designed to protect and conserve bird species that travel across borders seasonally. These treaties establish rules to prevent illegal hunting, habitat loss, and other threats during migrations. By working together, countries ensure that migratory birds can safely travel, breed, and feed along their routes, maintaining healthy populations and ecological balance. Such agreements are essential because migratory birds often cross many countries, requiring coordinated conservation efforts beyond national borders.
