Migration is birds last attempt to survive extreme season that cost a fortune, their lives. One bullet from a hunter, one ruined ecosystem, one mistake along the path of global migration cycle, they’ll die. In fact each year, 50% of this birds cannot survive during the long flight. Proud to say, Indonesia is one of the most important path of global migration cycle. This country contribute many temporary resting area during their journey across the world. With such a great title, it’s a shame that one of them, East coast of Surabaya, a supposed heaven for 23 migratory birds that fly across the earth, lately turn into migratory birds massacre that leads to many cases of birds endangered species.

Abandoned. One vile word that describe East Coast of Surabaya nowadays. Even though it’s already claimed as Important Bird Area/ IBA by Birdlife international, East Coast of Surabaya potential still hidden from public interest and grow into a ruined ecosystem that perfect for illegal hunters that already spread since 2019. Moreover, the local birdwatchers community, the guardian of migratory birds in Surabaya, struggling to thrive and lack of facilities and accommodations.

That’s why, in memorial of 6 migratory endangered species that died during this dark times, here is Migration Station to restore migration ecosystem of East Coast of Surabaya and to empower the birdwatchers community. More than just connecting and breaking boundaries, this facility create a symbiosis between man, migratory birds and nature. Together, little by little, this facility can co-exist and accepted as part of migratory birds temporary habitat. This is the happy ending for the birds and a reformation for the local guardians story to be the global heroes for migration sustainability.
