422地球日 50周年

4月22日是世界地球日,我們來介紹全世界最瀕危的海鳥--黑嘴端鳳頭燕鷗,全球族群稀少估計僅約一百隻,IUCN紅皮書列為極度瀕危(CR)。過去曾被認定是已絕種的鳥類,直到2000年在馬祖再次被目擊確認,時隔60多年未有明確紀錄,故譽稱「神話之鳥」。
目前在馬祖、澎湖屬於穩定繁殖的夏候鳥,過境期間偶也可在台灣本島的河口目擊他們的蹤跡喔~黑嘴端鳳頭燕鷗經常混群在鳳頭燕鷗之中,想找到他們就先找找看鳳頭燕鷗吧~  期盼鳥類棲地環境越來越好,也希望神話之鳥的數量能越來越多!

@地球日簡介
1970年4月22日,人類首次為了環境走上街頭,要求一個永續的未來。
2020年4月22日,這場公民行動仍持續著,而且需要每一個人的參與才能繼續前行。
2020地球日主題為「全面行動」,為了地球,看看我們可以多做些什麼?

It’s the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day!

April 22 is Earth Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about and celebrating the importance of protecting our planet and all the life it supports. So today, we at CWBF would like to wish everyone a happy Earth Day, and introduce you the world’s most endangered seabird, the Chinese Crested Tern (CCT). With its global population estimated to be less than 100, the IUCN Red Book lists the CCT as critically endangered (CR). It was even considered extinct after having no clear record of it for 60 years, and had earned the name the “Mythical Bird” locally. Yet like magic, one day it was spotted by accident in Taiwan’s Matsu Archipelago in 2000. Currently, the bird has stable breeding populations in the Matsu and Penghu Archipelagos. Also, en route to their breeding sites, CCTs will even stopover on Taiwan proper. They did so just this year in Tainan! These secretive terns will often hide amongst bigger flocks of Great Crested Terns, so you really need to be on the lookout for them.

We hope that in the future, food sources and habitat necessary for the CCT population to grow can improve, ensuring that these birds won’t become a thing legend in the future.

@ Earth Day Intro
On April 22, 1970, people took to the streets on behalf of the environment, demanding a sustainable future.
On April 22, 2020, Civic action continues and requires everyone's participation.
Earth Day 2020’s theme is "Comprehensive Action". To help the Earth, let’s all ask ourselves what more can we can do to help?
