Every year, some 50 million waterbirds of over 200 different species migrate to the opposite end of the earth, travelling along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway – one of the world’s eight major bird migration superhighways. Stretching from Siberia and Alaska to Australia and New Zealand, the flyway connects a chain of coastal wetlands spanning 20+ countries, providing vital habitats where shorebirds can stop to feed, rest and refuel before continuing on the next leg of their journey.
On 10 November, we held a panel discussion on our East Asian Australasian Flyway Initiative with Warren Evans of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Carlos Manuel Rodriguez (GEF) and Yoon Lee from the EAAFI.
