Argentina hosts Global Big Day birdwatching event

During the recent Global Big Day, more than thirty national parks in Argentina participated in the international birdwatching event. Approximately 1,100 observers across the country recorded 757 bird species within a 24-hour period using the eBird Argentina platform.

Key areas for species registration included Iguazú, Iberá, Mburucuyá, Pre-Delta, El Palmar, and Ciervo de los Pantanos national parks, as well as Campo San Juan Federal Park. The Litoral region was noted for its high avian diversity, while Patagonia saw significant participation from observers in Tierra del Fuego, Los Alerces, and Lago Puelo national parks.

Globally, the initiative engaged 50,706 enthusiasts and scientists who recorded 7,895 species through more than 116,000 sighting lists.
