What is the World Bird Festival?
is a global event organized by BirdLife International and held in over 88 countries across five continents. In Mexico, many institutions have participated in this event for over a decade and nationally more than 10 states in Mexico have been involved in some way. In Mexico City for several years (1998-2002), the festival was CIPAMEX by (at the time an official partner of BirdLife) and in collaboration with various institutions were able to perform outreach and educational activities that promote awareness and conservation of birds in our community.
Currently the festival is highly relevant in the State of Mexico, where the School of Advanced Studies of the UNAM Iztacala coordinates with various educational and governmental institutions, the annual festival. Next year the colleagues of the State of Mexico celebrate the tenth anniversary of this event.
In this context, the Ministry of Environment of the Federal District, through the Department of Education Environmental, brought in 20 metropolitan level institutions to celebrate the World Bird Festival in October 2009.

in the conservation of birds in the MCMA.
