Migratory species connect our cities and ecosystems across the globe. As they travel along their routes, they face increasing threats from habitat loss, urban expansion, and climate change. Cities play a crucial role in protecting these species and fostering ecological connectivity.

In the wake of the realities laid out in the first-ever State of the World’s Migratory Species report, as well as new findings highlighting how climate change is impacting migratory species, this initiative supports cities and regions as they take action to conserve these vulnerable species and their migratory journeys.

Journeys for Life is a global initiative that celebrates and showcases the vital role of cities and regions located along migratory routes, flyways, and marine corridors. It highlights how local action contributes to ecological connectivity and the protection of migratory species across borders.

Journeys for Life is a voluntary initiative and participation is flexible and adapted to local capacities.
