The International Ornithological Tourism Fair (FIO), organized by the Junta de Extremadura, has unveiled the poster for its 22nd edition, scheduled for February 26–28, 2027, in Monfragüe National Park. The poster features the rufous rock chat (Cercotrichas galactotes), an insectivorous bird species facing significant population declines in Extremadura and across Spain due to habitat alteration.

The graphic work was created by scientific illustrator Isa Loureiro. Alongside the unveiling, the FIO announced the launch of the first International Bird Illustration Contest, which will offer various categories for both professionals and enthusiasts to promote avian conservation and scientific dissemination.
