Perhaps you would like to spend this weekend informing people in your community about the need to protect the habitats of migratory birds.Here's the World Migratory Day Poster for you to download and share with your friends and relatives.
The World Migratory Bird Day campaign is promoted by the African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbird Agreement (UNEP/AEWA) and the Convention on Migratory Species (UNEP/CMS).

Global warming is the current topic of discussion everywhere you go. There is no doubt it has to be because of the impact it has on human beings, fauna and flora.
Talking about ways to help reducing this, currently at Rutgers university campus, New Jersey the students actively participate in this. They had aired a documentary on Global warming by Mr.Al Gore. The event was also attended by a city's politician who spoke about the Government's involvement in reducing global warming. A group of students meet every week to discuss ways to fight global warming. They stage events to involve more people towards their cause. There are awareness posters in campus to encourage people to recycle.
Students are the present generation and bringing an awareness in them will definitely make a lot of difference in the global warming process.
Hello Bhagawathy,
Good to know that students at Rutgers University are working hard to create awareness among the general public about global warming.
ATREE offers a PhD program and special internship opportunities for young people.
Perhaps some of the students at Rutgers University may like to explore opportunities for working and volunteering with ATREE.
