It’s Official: Owls Get International Protection

The UN’s got a soft spot for Harry Potter’s owl – and it’s not just because it’s cute. On Sunday, the U.N. Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals approved measures to protect these birds, and it’s about time.

What’s the Big Deal?

Let’s be real, it’s not like the UN just woke up and decided to save owls because they’re trendy. It’s because these birds are in trouble, and it’s our fault. Habitat loss, hunting – you name it, humans have done it. So, it’s nice to see the UN taking action, even if it’s a bit late to the party.

It’s worth noting that this protection isn’t just for Harry Potter’s owl – it’s for all migratory bird species. So, if you’re an owl enthusiast, you’ve got reason to cheer. Just don’t expect it to make a huge difference overnight – it’s a start, not a fix-all solution.
